A Marxist is stuck in a room with a liberal, a fascist, and an anarchist. The Marxist has one gun and two bullets. What does the Marxist do? Shoot the liberal and the anarchist.

(Based off actual historical events.)

The Soviet Union did more to stop the fascists than anyone else, and 27 million people in the Soviet Union were killed in the fight.

Historically, the Marxists were the ones that stopped the Nazis. 80% of combat in WWII was fought on the Eastern Front. Meanwhile, the liberals in Germany had linked hands with the Nazis to exterminate the Marxists early on in the Nazi rise to power. Additionally, the Soviets were the only ones materially backing the Anarchists in Spain.

A leftist is stuck in a room with another leftist and a fascist.

The leftist has one gun and two bullets, and they must be used.

What does the leftist do?

Shoot the other leftist twice.

[–] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 15 points 3 days ago

... then claim the other leftist making an edgy joke at the age of 14 is a proof they were the real fascist.

Reminds me of a joke on a Bright Eyes song.

"There's a Communist and an Anarchist in a car who's driving? The cop."

Imagine having 4 years to prepare

With all the state apparatus behind them announcing day and night that Trump was "literally the worst human bean ever"

Basically all the universities and all the highly educated population by their side

With massive approval from their voter base

With huge sums of money for propaganda in the private media.

With all the considerably large powers of the current executive

Able to pass laws

Able to influence worldwide political movements to bash their opposition at any time through grants

Able to start or stop wars worldwide should the need arise

And they still lost to Trump LMAO 🤣

Democrats lost the 2024 election in the 2020 election. Biden was a moderate that solved nothing, making poor white people angrier.

The only ways to make poor white people less angry will make billionaires angry.

Same result, but the liberal asks Israel who should have the gun.

[–] AeonFelis@lemmy.world 12 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Shoot the lock to escape the room, and save the other bullet for whoever locked you up in there.

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 11 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Okay, this isn't a movie, the bullet did nothing to the lock, and now you're bleeding from a ricochet sliver.

Of course they started with 6 bullets but the liberal and the fascist liked to pass the gun around and take pot shots at the marxist every so often so the marxist couldn't ever influence or overpower them. This is just the moment the liberal realized there were only two bullets left.

Just crushingly depressingly accurate

[–] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 40 points 3 days ago (12 children)

And then blame the Party for not providing more attractive choices.

[–] Glytch@lemmy.world 42 points 3 days ago (4 children)

Our choices were Fascism or Corporatism. Why wouldn't we blame the parties?

So basically there are 2 fascists in the room.

[–] lorty@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 days ago

Scratch a liberal...

[–] Earflap@reddthat.com 6 points 2 days ago

But the rules say that I have to! And dont I want to show how much better than them I am at following the rules?

[–] roguetrick@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

They're a liberal. They give the gun but sell the bullets.

[–] baines@lemmy.cafe 10 points 3 days ago (1 children)

shoot himself in the foot and then the face?
