dank memes

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 /c/slop

  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.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

It's a lever! Anything else is revisionism.

Everyone knows the communism button is a Rube Goldberg style machine that, when pressed, releases a slice of Swiss cheese in front of a rodent on a hamster wheel, whose spinning motion unravels a string holding back a marble that rolls down a tube to knock over a domino, which knocks over several more dominoes that ends up activating a model train set, which runs over the power button of a laser pointer, which makes a nearby housecat to swipe at the on/off switch of a fan, which blows a ping pong ball into a otherwise balanced scale, which holds a pair of scissors which rises to cut a string holding a bucket of water directly above the seat in the oval office, drenching [insert sitting US President] with water thus creating Communism

Have you even read Marx?

The later volumes of Kapital get pretty weird, huh?

Yeah, having a timestamped URL to a Youtube video was an odd addition to 2 Das 2 Kapital and it was an odd decision to be included in a physical book a century before the invention of the internet but I guess Marx and Engels were ahead of their time.

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

mmm yes, a new wave of leftist infighting on the nature of the communism lever/button. and if it's a button, is it a flimsy rubber dome construction or a proper mechanical switch?

It's a lever and button arcade setup. Xi is busy practicing his wombo combo cancel into full communism super

While the range of motion in the lever encapsulates the great ebb and flow of our Circadian Rhythms, its mechanical song a dedication to the proletariat spirit, a mighty phallus swinging as the electromagetic poles shift to signal a new aeon, nothing can compare to the frictionless immediacy and punctual sex appeal of a big red button. If I were Dr. Frankenstein, I could delegate a lever pull to a subordinate and still enjoy myself, but if I were a USian president, I would slam my fist on the ALL NUKES LAUNCH button before I even read the label.

Analog switches are also acceptable!

Eric Clapton: "My dream, is to have a tiny man living inside Xi's ass, and controlling Communism with Chinese Characteristics with a bunch of levers and wires."
