define communist first

>communist
? Most of us in the same situation just ask for book recs

>>6456980
How do I know? I've only read the book of common prayer.

>>6456984
We can't explain to you why you should be a communist if you don't know what a communist is.
I don't know.

>>6456978
You have not to become a comunist, communism will strike directly your face at the next change of wind.
Have fun with your money in the meantime.

>>6456978
politics, you will be reported!

>>6456999
What would have Stalin done without such people as yourself?

>>6456978
>why I still have to become a communist.

why would anyone be a communist after its incredible failure of the 20th century?

You should spend your time enjoying high culture and the likes

>/lit/ is for the discussion of literature.

>If you want to talk about politics, go to /pol/.

Is Stalin in the Book of Common Prayer? Elizabeth was into some weird mystical shit, but I figured plays about traps and magic shows were as far as it went, not Russia.

because communism is an end that is prophesied by the material-ness of the world

it might even be a capitalist end in the long run

at it's pure form communism is just a society without money or profit

the problem comes down to whether or not the current technological process of production allows for such society

the spectre of communism truly cannot die

This sounds like a wonderful Russian ruse, anon, thank you for bringing it to my attention. To further expose my ignorance: Jon Snow?

>>6457008
You are probably looking for the thread on why I still have to enjoy high culture or would you say there I have to stop enjoying it because you are such a nasty naysayer, a nasty tripfag and a troll?

>>6457059
It's a from a quite flirtatious letter penned by Queen Elisabeth to Tsar Ivan the Terrible, you silly boorish pleb moujik.

It isn't in there and google says you're a GRRM reader, so I'll assume I can pass on that reference. Thanks for the letters tip though.

The proletariat's are not going to liberate themselves, they require a sponsor of the revolution, someone who is going to guide them ideologically and organise their efforts towards overthrowing the bourgeoisie and imperialists.

>>6457107
You don't guide anyone ideologically. You help them to do away with ideologies and get their a consciousness about the historical development and interests of their class.
>inb4 everything is ideology
or some such shit. Of course you can also redefine the English language as you'd like.

>>6456978
you dont HAVE to become a communist

but you will end up being one

>>6457107
>overthrowing the bourgeoisie and imperialists

if there is ever an over through of the bourgeoisie it will be an insurrection of the old aristocracy against the modern world
