I don't care about you or your heroes.

>>21315117
I saw someone make a thread like this on /his/ and thought it would be fun to make my own chart. So, now I share it here.

>>21315107
Tell me the first letter of your country's name, OP. I am 90% I know where you are from based on this bizarre choice of heroes

You are not a real person.

>>21315134
P. I don't think anyone outside my country and some neighbouring ones would recognise one of my choices, so it shouldn't be hard lol
>>21315142
I am, though!

>>21315142
who's that spanish guy?

>>21315154
are you asking me (OP), anon?

>>21315142
>I am, though!
You're a caricature of a real person, a simulacrum.

>>21315154
George Lincoln Rockwell, a dapper feller he was too.

>>21315169
He wasn't Spanish doe so I thought he meant to quote me.
>You're a caricature of a real person, a simulacrum.
Why do you think that, and what do you mean by it? Rude. :(

>>21315107
I don't care about you or your heroes.

>>21315188
Well, you should.

That is one hilariously bad selection of "heroes" to have for yourself anon. If this is trolling, which I suspect, you have my respect. If this is not, I have nothing but contempt for you.

>>21315200
Why contempt? What's wrong with my selection?

>>21315144
Puerto Rico? Again, I think only a Latin American would choose put these figures together

Hello Henry Wallis.

I swear to god every Latin American I've met is somehow extremely religious and Marxist.
Why are you people so superstitious? Explain yourselves

>>21315587
Idk, maybe poverty and the Catholic focus on good works as essential to the Faith. At least, that's what kept me faithful - the experience of God in the work of the Church.

>>21315107
Did your wife’s boyfriend recommend those to you?

>>21315661

>>21315701
Quit roleplaying as an Australian.

>>21315107
Why Mao?

>>21315107
what did Saint Moses the black write? I'm Ethiopian and have never heard of him having been an intellectual. Thought he was only well known for his conversion and for being a hothead who got into loads of fights with pagans and non-Christians?

>>21315670
theyre well-known american manners, such as >>21315701 they are still at that phase where they think its cooler to be le mean because many of them were raised by marvel movies and westerns. remember that the best way to treat these people back is to be nice to them in the hopes that one day they'll grow up.

>>21317197
Cuz I'm a Maoist and like his political/economic theory. On Practice and Contradiction from Verso Books is a good collection of his most essential works, ignoring the Zizek introduction. Also the Shanghai Textbook is great for understanding their Worldview Marxism of the time and political economy.
>>21317203
From my list, Toussaint L'Ouvurture and St. Moses the Black weren't really writers (although Toussaint had some incredible speeches). St. Moses in particular is just one of my favourite Saints and inspirations because I relate to him a lot, as a confrontational hothead always trying to do better.

It shouldn't be so puzzling to see a christian maoist seeing as they are both resentful slave morality ideologies, but it is so regardless. However, it is still incoherent to hold any kind of materialism and religiosity simultaneously; historical materialism explicitly goes against the christian view of history. You would do better by reading Dostoyevsky, Tolstoy, or Kerkegaard rather than Marx.

Nah.
