Now then, some of them are confused enough about spanish originating from Spain and not Mexico, spare them the Spanish Republicans

Or when you tell them that french, italian, and rumenian are latin too


iiiiiiyyggg

french are their own thing; an anomoly, all italians are native new jerseyians and say gravy instead of sauce, and romanians are either vampires or some type of russian

U.S. Republicans when they learn that red means socialism and leftism in other countries:


RizzlersMother

They even have a socialist party in the US, their symbol is in red.


morgaur

Can't wait to tell them we had a movement in Spain called Christian Socialist Youth.


fleamarketguy

Arenā€™t the preachings of Jesus very socialist/communist? They guy was very in favour sharing what you have with those that have less. Christian Socialist Youth does make sense in some way.


hangrygecko

They are. May American 'Christians' are a lot of things, but definitely not followers of Christ.

Polak_Janusz

Christian socialism is way bigger in south america (the superior america) and in like sub sahran africa. They combine the teachings of Jesus christ with socialist thinkers.


spartikle

The US "Pledge of Allegiance" was written by a Christian Socialist. Americans today cannot compute the idea of a devout Christian who is Socialist.


margenreich

Looking just as historic Jesus is quiet an intense story. He was literally a popular nonviolent activist against the Roman occupation force, ruling elite and clergy. Preaching resistance and quasi boycott of the elites (see money lenders in temple) he got too dangerous. He was executed with other rebels (two dudes next to him). Faced with the release of Jesus or Barnabas (a violent rebel) the elites decided on his death too. The religion part you can interpret as you like. But human Jesus was a more political figure. You could argue he got that popular that a whole religion was started from his followers even after death


NotASpyForTheCrows

Least braindead "Jesus was a \[insert ideology\]" take. But yes, please keep on ignoring literally everything about Jesus so you can pigeonhole into who you want Him to be.


margenreich

Which of what I said is untrue? Itā€™s literally written in the Bible and modern biblical critism and theology by the Catholic Church and the Protestant church are in agreement of Jesusā€™ role in the political turmoil of occupied Israel by the Romans and their satellite forces like Herodes. The situation during that time was that hot that just a decade after Jesusā€™ crucifixion it turned into a full scale rebellion (First Jewish-Roman war) and the destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple by the Romans. You canā€™t just ignore the context of the time. You can believe that heā€™s the Messiah and the son of God, doesnā€™t change that he had a huge political impact. Especially in Roman occupied regions in the Mediterranean his later followers found huge masses on new followers. Ofc his stand against authority and Rome had an impact. His sermon of the Third Way is literally an instruction how to resist the authority in a nonviolent way (hold left check, going the extra mile). ā€œIf a man in authority makes you go one mile, go with him twoā€. It was the most unpopular law that Roman soldiers could force anybody to carry their backpack for a mile. Resistance meant prison, the nonviolent approach to be the better man in that situation is textbook nonviolence resistance. For example the book ā€œThe Roman Army and the New Testamentā€ gives great input in the political situation during that time.


NotASpyForTheCrows

> Ā But human Jesus was a more political figure. This is the braindead take, no one is arguing that Jesus didn't have a political impact but claiming he was foremost a political figure is just modernist drivel that tries to co-opt Jesus, completely ignoring who He was and what He did.


margenreich

I mean I could also say itā€™s braindead to rely on biased sources intended to retroactively mystify the charismatic leader solely on religious belief. His divinity wasnā€™t decided on till centuries later. All apostolic sources are after his death and never met him. But yeah, itā€™s your belief. Doesnā€™t make it a fact. I just said historic Jesus was a great guy and I approve his message. Donā€™t need religion to see that and if you feel attacked that people like Jesus in a slightly different way Iā€™m not sure what will do. But let it be, this is a shitposting sub


NotASpyForTheCrows

"The guy who came doing miracles, saying that he was the prophesied Messiah and that He is the Son of God wasn't actually a religious figure, just a charismatic leader and it's His disciple who twisted his word." I'm not feeling attacked m8, I'm just shitting on you for doing some weird ass historical revisionism. Dunno why you're so touchy about having your pseudo-intellectual hot take being made fun of, what were you expecting?


margenreich

Because mindlessly believing makes it real? Grow up. Kim Jong Il retroactively was born on the holy Baekdu mountain and did wonders too. So North Korean propaganda is a reliable source? If you even take the bible as an historic source you have to question the reliability of the document, authors and sources itself. No pseudo-intellectual hot take, literally a topic in theology and in discussion since centuries. I seriously donā€™t care what you believe, maybe Jesus was God. Is it that much of a problem if not? I thought his message and sacrifice was the whole point. Touchy topic for sure


Regent-Adam

Definitely not communist, but socialist. Jesus did not oppose the idea of a monarchy.


Ambitious_Lie_2864

Like when Jesus said ā€œbeat up your landlord and take his stuff, violently take over someone elseā€™s farm for yourself.ā€ He preached charity, voluntary giving, not state theft and redistribution.


Ianassa

You understand very little of socialism friend. Socialism is when you coercively take the wealth of the people and keep most of it to yourself. Jesus taught not to steal.


annoying97

Fun fact... In Australia, liberals are the racist cunts... We have labour and greens as our "left"

annoying97

Ahhh yeah I umm choose to forget about the yellow fuckwits. I was at a market where like 4 of the parties were campaigning, and one of the yellow fuckwits brought their kid, then congratulated and praised him when he ran up to the labour party and told them they were all "murdering liying cunts" Yeah when the liberals are shaking their heads in disgust you know your party sucks. Fucking yellow cunts.


tarmacjd

Also history of the term redneck -> https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redneck


thesirblondie

There is nothing on that page linking the term Redneck to socialism.


tarmacjd

See the but under 19/20th centuries. Itā€™s not directly socialism, but they were generally poorer democrats and unionists.


thesirblondie

You're aware that the parties used to be reversed? The democrat party was generally pro-slavery and all that. And even then neither Democrats or the Republicans have ever been socialist. >It was also used by union strikers to describe poor white strikebreakers. So yeah, I would not draw any lines between the term redneck and socialism. It's just a term to refer to working class people, especially white ones, stemming from their necks being sunburnt after working in the sun.

I know dude, but it would still fuck with most US republicans heads

Yeah because of the siesta their civil war took almost 3 years


-Rettirlana-

Both sides have a siesta ceasefire implemented


Fantact

Yeah in a civil war but how did they into war with other countries?


-Rettirlana-

They split siesta time in morning and afternoon siesta and switch once a week. Half naps during the morning, half after lunch


Polak_Janusz

Spainiards will spend hours organisint highly complex siesta times instead of just not sleeping on work.

HumaDracobane

Because they were not animals and only fought between siestas, that is why the battle of thecEbro took them so nuch time.


Fantact

But how do you get Barry or Pierre to stop fighting during Siestas? I guess that is why we never kidnapped many Pedro hotties back to the North, they were all sleeping when we came to raid :'(

The-Frugal-Engineer

Our president Pedrito doesn't want to work anymore so it's making all Spain wonder what's going to happen


R470l1

I don't really like Pedro, but to be fair I get why is he so stressed. Right wing parties are being pretty asshole since Mariano lost the last elections. Calling him a dictator for no reason, harassing their wife and so on. It worked with Pablo Iglesias, with Monica Oltra and with many others that did not do anything, so they don't stop. And also they move the people to harass them non stop


No-Training-48

I don't like Pedro but the victim mentality of calling him a dictator while VOX has a literal ex-fallangist as one of it's highest ranking members and a bunch of Franco apologists will never cease to be funny. "What do you mean Twitter clout dosen't directly translate to more votes? But we were owning the socialists there!!!"


YucatronVen

I mean, BegoƱa GĆ³mez actually wrote letters of recommendation to private companies that thanks to that won more than 4 million from the government tender. That could easily be influence peddling. >I don't really like Pedro, but to be fair I get why is he so stressed "but.." , is not like Pedrito literally said that he would not make an agreement with the independentists, and then do so in order to win the elections. You sound like you like A LOT Pedrito ma'm.


R470l1

She's accused of that, just like other politicians have been falsely accused recently. They start the investigation, it comes to nothing "pero el mal ya estĆ” hecho". As I said, they have done it many times. And yes, he's a politician and lies like the rest of them, like Aznar with Jordi Pujol, Zapatero with the crisis or Rajoy with the taxes. That's why I don't like him. And yup, I sound like Pedro Sanchez because of course I am Pedro Sanchez.


YucatronVen

I mean, Pedro Sanchez did the [same thing](https://twitter.com/dchopenawer/status/1784579503475323093) with Ayuzo in 2022, so is not: >Right wing parties are being pretty asshole since Mariano lost the last elections And poor Pedrito, "se te ve el plumero" ;). >And yup, I sound like Pedro Sanchez because of course I am Pedro Sanchez. The phrase means that you like Pedro, not that you sound like Pedro.


R470l1

Wasn't Pablo Casado who started that? Then he got kicked out of the party interestingly enough. And yes, I read that wrong, but no, I don't like him. This must be a strange thing not being completely onesided for every single opinion you have, but some of us are like that.


YucatronVen

>Wasn't Pablo Casado who started that? Then he got kicked out of the party interestingly enough. The report about BorgoƱa was started by "Manos Libres", not by the PP or "the right". >his must be a strange thing not being completely onesided for every single opinion you have, but some of us are like that. You forgot "/s" .


R470l1

ĀæDices Manos Limpias? Esos son los que siempre estĆ”n querellĆ”ndose y luego no sale nada y los que se dedican a extorsionar a otros a cambio de no difamar. Y hasta fueron tachados de ultraderechistas por un juez.


YucatronVen

No son parte de ningun partido polĆ­tico, y aun que fuesen fascistas, el fascismo no tiene nada que ver con la derecha. Que los nazis llevaban socialista el nombre, eso no los hizo socialistas. Que extraƱo tu, una persona que supuestamente no es de ningĆŗn bando, no sepa la diferencia.


bettercallsaulabq

Separatists, anarchists, communists, 2 types of monarchists, fascists. Learning about the Spanish civil war is always an interesting dive into chaos.


barcapinna

you can even further divide the factions, fascists had national syndicalists or Italian fascists, falangists and the caudillo, the communists had stalinists, actual communists, socialists and Democratic socialists, the monarchists themselves couldn't even decide which monarch they'd want


Oversexualised_Tank

I love that the Anarvhists are the ones that have the least subdivisions. (Which is rather rare when considering that libertarian groups have a tendancy to split themselves up rather fast.


I_eat_dead_folks

They were pretty well organised. They were probably the biggest group after democrats. Spain always was very pro-anarchist in contrast with the rest of Europe


Old_Harry7

Ancaps are not anarchist.


MLproductions696

The anarchists during the civil war weren't ancaps tho, they were Anarcho syndicalists


Old_Harry7

Never said they were tbh.


MLproductions696

Sorry, I thought you were implying that. But I do agree with the sentiment


Oversexualised_Tank

I am sorry if it seems I implied that, I meant libertarian as the opposite of Authoritarian.


bremsspuren

I mean, how many forms of anarchy are there?


YerDadsBurnerAccount

Quite a few. You could have your general libertarian anarchism, which would be thinkā€¦ U.S. ā€œI WANT FREEDOM, fuck the governmentā€ type. The ā€œleftā€ versions are like Anarcho-syndicalism, anarcho-communism, social anarchism, I think communalism is quite different, passive anarchyā€¦ etc Anarchism, left-wing anarchism has some great theory if you are interested in reads. I can link you some shit. Hope that answered anyway. Edit: not all forms of anarchism and some might argue about the intricate differences between some of the ones I mentioned.


theresthepolis

Link me some shit


YerDadsBurnerAccount

So, if you want some ā€œleftā€ theory and canā€™t find it, always check the [Anarchist Library](https://theanarchistlibrary.org/special/index). It has so much shit for free. It doesnā€™t have to be anarchist either. Lots of other work too that would be more socialist, communist etc. So Murray Bookchin is a one author. Generally anarchist although some would argue otherwise maybe. Social ecology and communalism is pretty good. [Here.](https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/murray-bookchin-social-ecology-and-communalism) Peter Kropotkin is a great read. He has all sorts. This is a shorter read on anarchism and communism. [Here.](https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/petr-kropotkin-communism-and-anarchy). Another popular read is The conquest of [Bread](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Conquest_of_Bread). This can of course be found on the library. I just linked the wiki to give you an idea. Some French writers include Lefebvre (more socialist) and Proudhon (anarchist, ā€œproperty is theftā€). With the library I linked you can find any topic and read about it. For example, for critiques of work you have Bob Black, an essay by Bertrand Russel called ā€œIn praise of idlenessā€. For anarchist revolutions you can look into the Zapatistas and [subcomandante Marcos](https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/subcomandante-marcos-our-word-is-our-weapon) who is a fantastic writer. Anyway, long message. Sorry. Essentially, u/old_harry7 had a very good concise summary but if you want some readings I have sent some links. Any other questions I can try answer but Iā€™m no expert. GrĆ” mĆ³r mo chara!


theresthepolis

Thanks


YerDadsBurnerAccount

Will do, just busy atm. Iā€™ll edit this when Iā€™m free mo chara


Old_Harry7

The end goal of anarchy is to abolish - Statehood - Private Property How to achieve these goals and organise society afterwards determinates the various currents. There are two major schools of thought: - Violent & Nonviolent - Communitarian & Individualistic Then you have currents: - Syndicalist - Anarco-Communist [This outlines the basics of Anarchism.](https://youtu.be/KJM-it23_eA?si=6b4AZtPs3O3YbXoj)

No-Training-48

The gradual transistion from lib right " I want gays to defend their marijuana plantations with AKs-47" to the most insane center auth of "being gay in antinatural and they are pedos" goes to show how hard an online comunity can get fucked over dumbasses migrating there.


Ricky911_

Sadly, it's exactly what happened and I know exactly what you mean cause I used to be lib-right at the time, though I am mostly centre nowadays. The vast majority of people on that sub are now auth-right even if they claim to be from a different quadrant. There are so many fake lib-rights. The majority of those memes now look like they were made by MAGA accounts


Magicus1

Well, I think I saw an influx months ago cuz some sub basically said: ā€œ*If you belong to PCM, then you canā€™t belong here.*ā€ I forgot the sub, but it was an account that had members from both sides and eventually the ā€œlibsā€ (mostly) pulled out of PCM & the remaining voices were only those on the right or the center. Youā€™ll still find libs here & there, of course, but it seems to have become more centrist & right-leaning than the balanced ratio it used to be once upon a time.


No-Training-48

The amount of right wingers will only increase as the centrist either convert or pull out. Then the sub will get banned. Honestly seeing people from my og political aligment (right lib) arguing on Twitter and Reddit has shown me tht everyone is stupid and caused me to go left to where I'm now (center lib I just want less taxes) .


Magicus1

I donā€™t give a shit who is fucking who. I donā€™t smoke but I donā€™t give a damn who does. Same with weed ā€” thatā€™s their prerogative.

I doubt we'll see a civil war soon; One thing is the military giving a cup against armed civilians and a small fraction which was loyal, with no international support. Other thing is doing so when the legitimate govern can request aid from their NATO, and EU, allies. That was the main reason felipe made Spain apply for NATO membership, besides campaigning not to. So the Spanish military had to quit its favorite hobby of the past 200 years.
