The Midwestern Marx guy got caught liking Nazi fancams on twitter (link in comments)

Average pat"soc" behind closed doors:
Edit: he has now set his Twitter likes to private
Can we fucking beat the shit out of these scumbags already? I'm tired of them trying to invade our spaces like rats.
These are the kind of people who actually think Nazis are socialists and identify as socialists strictly because of that belief.
"gender ideology" means letting trans people live their lives in peace, we can't have that now
Just so you all know this guy is a dues paying member of CPUSA, and every time someone brings up kicking him out it gets immediately shutdown.
CPUSA embracing anything but actual communism. Totally doesn't smell like fed shit.
Agreed
Watched him a bit on tiktok until I saw him buddy up with Jackson Hinkle (and a few other cringe takes that elude me at the moment). After that, he went full on "we need to be friends with 'MAGA communists'", talking shit about how the alt-right actually isn't so bad and can be totally saved easier than your average lib. Blocked him on everything months ago and it appears I was correct to do so.
Yeah, I became aware of him on tiktok during the pandemic and only saw a few videos of him defending the DPRK so I figured he wasn't that bad. Cut to years later and he's just a chud with a different set of paint
Tovarish!
Cleanse your mind from this fascist filth!
I had to look up what a fancam is
I'm not very surprised. He's aligned with Jackson Hinkle.

Should rename his account to national socialism
He recently claimed that he "accidentally" followed a twitter account that was dripping with fash imagery that had something like Daughter of Il Duce in their bio as well.
How many coincidences are we going to see before maybe it stops being a coincidence, Edward?
**Edit: Receipts (also you can see how my memory is a little patchy on these details because I didn't pay close attention since I'm not about to closely study and memorise something which was very on-brand for Eddie imo)
I never like dealing with these guys. If the whole "The dumbest outcome is the most likely outcome" thing is true, they'll inevitably end up parasitizing any serious socialist project that emerges in the 'states.
Hey, what if we did socialism, but kept everything that made american culture fucking insufferable and all the attendant problems
they'll inevitably end up parasitizing any serious socialist project that emerges in the 'states.
Don't worry, there's no possibility of this. This movement is run entirely by grifters and feds who have no interest the very difficult work of actually building organizations. While PYM and
put on the People's Conference for Palestine in Detroit and brought in 3600 organizers on explicitly ML terms, the PatSocs put on a parallel event in Detroit that drew a whopping 60 people.Not to mention the fact that they can exclusively recruit gullible white boys while the multinational working class is going to real organizations.
Yeah, in terms of realistic outcomes they're just kind of a extension of the LaRouchites and unlikely to gain any serious ground by dint of fundamentally misreading how deep the american conservative's anticommunist bent runs. You cannot get to them in any way if you're calling yourself communists
Fucking yikes
Unsurprising that the Nationalist would like Nationalists. Disgusting, of course, but unsurprising.
I've been waiting for something like this for the better part of two years now.
Are you sure this is the right thread?
Fuck you're right wrong thread. Intended for here: https://hexbear.net/post/2683625?scrollToComments=false
Multi tab browsing.
Man, I'm glad I followed my gut where Eddie was concerned. Something about him curdled my gut and I could never directly put a finger on what.
This is the angle you're going with after he's been caught (not the first time) liking nazi shit? Get the fuck out of here with this nonsense.
A lot of their (Midwestern Marx) takes as a group are actually just fine, but the bad ones some of their members hold are just really bad, and the fact that the rest of the Midwestern Marx group allows them to remain affiliated says a lot about them.
As an example, Eddie is dismissive of concepts like landback on the grounds that it happened a long time ago, which is a really bad take. It’s made into an even worse bad take when this idea is not universally applied in his worldview. As a socialist, calling it chauvinist would probably be the nicest thing you could say about it.
Midwestern Marx is a collective, a lot of the good takes are probably not coming from this cryptofash
Yes we have heard what he has to say and we have heard enough to know he is a fascist. Try not to defend cryptofascists on your next account.
Being friends with nazis and maga communists is a bad take.
huh
Lol
oh yeah this guy is so far up his own ass its amazing. He also hangs out with Hinkle who is an abuser and much more open fascist.
GS=Global South (in case my future biographer is wondering LOL!)
What does that say? I’m having trouble reading it
Midwestern Marx? Why would anyone want their Marxism to be either "mid" or "western".
