Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in !the_dunk_tank@www.hexbear.net, it's a great comm.

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

This book unironically exists, it’s called “American Marxism” by Mark R. Levin. If you replace Marxism (in the conservative pejorative sense) with Wokeism, the meaning does not change.

The counterrevolution to the American Revolution is in full force. [drivel cut out] Of course, the primary difference between the counterrevolution and the American Revolution is that the former seeks to destroy American society and impose autocratic rule, and the latter institute representative government. The counterrevolution or movement of which I speak is Marxism

That was the first page. As for what marxism is to him,

In America, many Marxists cloak themselves in phrases such as “progressives,” “Democratic Socialists,” “community activists,” etc. … They operate under myriad [sic] newly minted organizational or identifying nomenclatures, such as “Black Lives Matter” (BLM), “Antifa,” “The Squad,” etc. And they claim to promote “economic justice,” “environmental justice,” “racial equity,” “gender equity,” etc. They have invented new theories, like Critical Race Theory … they claim “the dominant culture” and capitalist system are unjust and inequitable, racist and sexist, colonial and imperialist, materialistic and destructive of the environment. Of course, the purpose is to tear down and tear apart the nation…

One other thing I want to point out is that most of his footnotes are ibid. so this book that might seem well researched but it is mostly the same few sources lmao.

This book is terrible.

I just realized I horribly misquoted the book with a forgotten word, I guess I should have pulled a copy from online to copy and paste from.

lol I kind of assumed it was supposed to be "repressive" or something

Levin's a complete fucking dunce for a million other reasons though so i ain't apologizing for anything I say about him

Mark Levin is the guy who sounds like exactly like Master Shake and it's a beautiful feature of the universe
