Why are there so many commies on /lit/? You would think anons who claim to be """""intellectuals""""" would have a better understanding of how the economy works, instead of supporting >gib me dats.

Why are there so many blog posts on /lit/? You'd think a "literature" board would be fairly distinct from a livejournal group.

There are very few commies, there are lots of Scandinavian Socialists, who give lots of praise to Marx, while they distribute oil wealth to their populace or have spread out the costs of services and housing to the taxpayer. Outside the fee, bourgeoisie lifestyles and wealth.

Because we had a pretty bad Reddit spillover when our 2014 top 100 books image got circulated on there and imgur. In my opinion, the overall post quality hasn't recovered.

The only thing leftist economists are well versed in is the art of excuses.

Because a lot of sensitive and intelligent people actually fall for the communism or fascism. It was like that in Center Europe, a lot of artists were communists, or fascists, but then they saw the real face of it, and realise that it isn't what they thought it to be. The problem with western intellectuals is that they didn't see it. They say "real communism hasn't been tried yet!". Well, maybe there's a reason why it never worked well. If the western intellectuals looked more into the literature of Central Europe, they would see that it is bullshit, just used to bullshit people, telling htem about equality, freedom and brothership and then not doing anything about it, and changing the country into a dictatorship.
Unfortunately it's the same with the right-wingers, it is all about ideas, and while they seem great on paper, they don't work in real life.

I believe that a communist state should be our end goal. But right now and maybe for a long time, it is not possible to get a really succesful communist state. It is still an utopia.

Communist thinking is ruining a lot of countries currently, especially in Latin America

B-but fascism works though. Hitler didn't get a fair shot. Black president failed. This means equality, freedom, and democracy was a lie. We need hatred and violence now more than ever.

So you have a Jew neoliberal understanding of economics. The only real way is to watch Mises Institute videos on youtube and read The Road to Serfdom by Hayek. Everyone knows that. They don't even teach the Austrian school at university because, if applied, it would totally fix everything wrong with the economy and the Jews would be out on their asses.

There has never been a communist nation, only state capitalist ones. People never "fell" for communism, so to speak, they were tricked into thinking it was something else.

Fascism has worked with Mussolini & Hitler. Both did great things for their country & rescued them from poverty. Hitler however, took hatred of the jews a bit too far; he should've targeted the jewish bankers instead of the innocent jewish civilians. Communism on the other hand has always taken countries to unsafe levels of poverty.

This. Freemarketfags hate communism, but it is essentially a corporate state. Communism is a revolutionary ideology with the stated goal of regime change from domestic officials to mercenaries or goons of some kind who then install a leader more amenable to western imperial or geopolitical interests (private industry, political factions, etc., not nations themselves or their people). This, of course, is not true for all cases, but for the majority, usually those receiving less attention, it is the result. Communism is not something to be assessed as right or wrong, as if it were to be applied in first world economies. In practice, it is a way of seizing power and implementing a command economy. In theory, it is a lot of things, but it is not some boogeyman to be feared or some argument to be debunked.
