@sigruna14 I wouldn't call a 15 yo's view of the world anything but fantasy tbh. So a commie 15yo makes sense.

Some good buds of mine know my views. Just don't be a LARPer and do not talk about it all the time. They will not care unless they are really Leftists.

@Jacob Many of us, including leadership were indeed civnats. Not sure where you are getting that from...

@Asatru Artist - MD Accurate. Participating in a message board for 3 months at 15 doesn't really count for much, but still, it's fun to say.

And rudimentarily true.

@sigruna14 Well, Trotsky is the one most in line with modern leftists, so, that makes sense

>being a communist
>admitting it
<:nervous:359009898115104770>

Once I started a Lefora forum for RevLeft people who were shunned by the RevLeft establishment. It was me and 2 other people. Good times. Lol.

I remember the first time I heard Steve Bannon say “Civic Nationalism”
I immediately said “yeah I’m that”

@Asatru Artist - MD everyone goes through a phase lol

my “phase” (briefly) was DR3

14-18 I jumped around political ideals like a mad man

DR3 > Commie

I remember thinking “The KKK likes Hillary because welfare keeps the black man down”

eh, I get why people become leftists. Almost none of the horrible stuff done by communist regimes is taught in schools

Stayed pretty left wing with economics for the most part though, mostly flipping from full on state issued gfs to anarchism and like 3-4 weeks I was ancap

@Papa Pizzagate I'm not saying that the statement "many of us were civnats" is false, I'm saying that the statement "all of us were civnats" was false, by saying that many of us weren't.

Maybe there was a better way to phrase that.

Was always a civnat through all of it

@fgtveassassin state issued gfs is a radical centrist position

I've basically just gone further right the older I get. "Republican" up until Obama, then Independent (I finally figured out the GOP is useless), to Lolbertarian/CivNat, to Identitarian.

What is our largest recruiting pool, in your opinion @Jacob

Libertarians ^

Civs

@Asatru Artist - MD To be honest, it depends what kind of civnat and what kind of commie.

For example, the modern communist party in Russia is pretty solid on immigration.

>insert pipeline meme about libertarians to AR from 2015

hoteps

based

@Jacob I'm not a one issue voter and no amount of "solid on immigration" is getting me to go along with Commies.

@Asatru Artist - MD Just saying by pure population.

Yeah, CivNats are fertile ground for sure.

lol the Russian communist party is about as communist as the Russian liberal democratic party is liberal democratic

Internet racists as unfortunate as it is to admit is a very small fraction of the sphere, and if we want to really gain any form of influence or infrastructure down the road we’re gonna need to maintain a relatively similar direction to the rest of the growing anti globalist coalition

Libertarian, I thought it was the best way to help whites without saying so while simultanously being nice to the talented tenth, that delusion has been shattered by reality

@Alex Kolchak - NY they are hilarious, cause those communists actually long for better days

I sincerely believe that if the DSA were destroyed via racial tensions and accusations of racism, we would get a ton of apps in the following months 😂😂 especially if we up our name recognition among them

I was curious to see if the Tea Party could have done something productive too and it didn't

@NateDahl76 lotta populist-socialists in that crowd huh <:4dchess:439923932062154782>

@sigruna14 Yeah, I kinda followed a similar trajectory [Stalinism->Trotskyism->Leninism->Focoism/Guevarism->Socialism of the 21st Century->Luxemburgism->Democratic Socialism->Social Democracy->Libertarian Socialism->Classical Liberalism->Objectivism->AnCap->Agorism->Market Anarchism->Rothbard-Rockwell-Hoppe-Doolittle Helicopter (Anarchist) Paleolibertarianism->Paleoconservatism->National Conservatism->Traditionalist Conservatism->Monarchism->Propertarianism->Identitarianism]

I did go through a brief period when I was like 14, probably stemming mostly from edginess, where I wanted the political system my Uncle had in mind

jesus christ that is quite detailed @Bjorn - MD

I think the Tea Party got sucked into the machine (or the swamp), and spit out as establishment GOP after a couple years @TylerHess
