Only, it happened in the Western World/Global North; and the Zombie Apocalypse wasn’t anything portrayed in the media.
Why do I say this? Well:
Most Global Northerners STILL make Soviet/Communist references whenever Russia is brought up; despite the fact that the USSR was forcibly put out of existence against the will of the people. In addition, Modern Russia is NOTHING like the good 'ol Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.
Seriously, try looking up videos (or any media for the matter) about Russia in YouTube and tell me if you could find ONE MAJOR VIDEO ABOUT RUSSIA without Soviet/Communist references. Even on Odysee (I only go there for RT, fuck that reactionary hellhole) of all sites, there was a HammSick and USSR written on the thumbnail of the remix of the Russian Anthem.
Despite the Government of China’s preference to be called “CPC/Communist Party of China”, most people, even the so-called "A"politicals say CCP instead. And these type of people then go on and scorn anyone that call the Government of China by its preferred name (CPC).
People still go on regurgitating the same old crap about the Tiannmen Square Massacre and the Tank Man picture despite the release of the full footage surrounding Tank Man in question.
Because of a well-spreaded lie about Chairman Xi banning Winnie the Pooh in China over memes comparing him to Winnie. And thus started an endless supply of Chairman Xi being molded with the Pooh Bear. It honestly just feels like a racist caricature at this point. A modern day minstrelism, if you ask me.
There was a time when most people on the internet denounced HISSrael. Now? People have to ask when or if it’s okay to criticize or be against HISSrael, because “If you’re Anti-Zionist/criticize or denounce the Apartheidist State of HISSrael in any way shape or form, you’re an Anti-Semite!”. And people just buys this shit, no questions asked.
People just believe - without question - bile spreaded around as “factual news” about China and the DPRK. And now Russia as well.
Exhibit A: Western Media spreaded outrageous lies about the SMO, claiming Russian Military SA’d Ukrainian Women and that Russia was making a special form of Viagra just so the Russian Army could keep SA-ing Ukrainian Women. I don’t like Russia for its constant, unnecessary dunkings on LGBT+ people; but even then I think this type of smearing was uncalled for.
Even where I live, people outright believe Western-baked lies about the DPRK and the so-called Uyghur “Genocide”; and then turn around, hue, scream and cry about “WESTERN CULTURE IS INVADING THIS COUNTRY!!!” whenever as much as the concept of LGBT+ is even slightly mentioned, or whenever Women ask for more rights or wear and do as they so please. (Even my peers bashed people calling for women to be able to wear as they please without being harassed, what the fuck!?!!)
Before 2022, barely anyone heard about Ukraine and those that did bashed it for being a corrupt, pedophilic hellhole. Now? All of a sudden everyone and their mother are showering Ukraine, especially Elenskyy with so, SO MUCH undeserved love; acting as if he’s Jesus 2. In reality, Elenskyy’s the world’s most spoiled child I’ve ever seen in my whole life, my god. He’s already eating up everything the US offers (which is enough to solve its own Domestic Issues BTW!) and yet it’s still “not enough” for him.
So, yeah. These are why I’ve been thinking for a while now if a Zombie Apocalypse has happened right under our noses; because OH MY GOD HOW CAN PEOPLE BE THIS OUTRAGEOUSLY STUPID?! I honestly feel tempted to call the average Liberal a Zombie these days.
EDIT: And if you’re wondering, “well if they’re zombies, then what do they eat? surely not brains as they’re still humans like us, right?” Answer: Anything the Mainstream Media or the Demonocrats (Government Body of the USA - including the CIA and Feds, not just the Democrats) says. No. Questions. Asked. Just like your typical zombies who will eat any brain they find, without wondering if it’s a “good-quality brain”.
I’m posting this in c/GenZedong instead of - I guess, c/MentalHealth or c/Comradeship because, although I’m kind of pissed from being surrounded by reactionaries and hearing liberal lies all the time, the post involves less personal problems and more political issues.
i mean, when people use only social media (owned by corporations) and tv (owned by corporations), it’s a pretty basic conception that they could be indoctrinated…but they won’t admit it bc “they always can change the channel” or “they can close the account” to use another social media or tv channel (owned by a corporation too)…big brother always was a good ol’ capitalist

As far as I know it literally is a racist caricature. The guys who originally said Winnie the Pooh looks like Xi because Winnie the Pooh is yellow.
I think I saw “Elenskyy” first outside Lemmygrad. Like /leftypol/. But I’m unsure if it began from your meme. Though I’ll admit I don’t think I saw your meme. What was it?
I think its fair to call the West among the Undead; while they’re not dead, they aren’t alive either. We’ve reached a height of contradiction where there is no way forward. This has a strong reflection in the psyche, so westerners are in a state of the undead.
Yeah though idk what it’s like for other families, but in mine they’ll quickly drop this lib shit once you remind them of the contradictions of our government and our own history of living through them. Like, my parents can sound like Trump one moment and then like Lenin the next, it’s bizarre. I dunno how they reconcile things in their head but it gives me hope that many of those who have been zombified aren’t too far gone.
I will say that we’re Mexican tho and that undoubtedly plays a big part in how believable the propaganda here is. Even when it’s coming from Univision
So essentially this post is: “You: I think the average Liberal has become so idiotic, that comparing them to zombies would be accurate.” Tbh, fair and accurate-
I’d include the average, “apolitical” internet user too. Can’t say I like half the memes (all regurgitated bullshit) and political output (I think not liking a country or liking a specific policy is political, even if you claim to be “apolitical”) from them.
I use the Comradeship/Freechat community for venting but
Yes I agree with you. I live in the United States and not to be dramatic but it does seem rather zombified here. It’s really weird, everyone knows things are going bad, that the “bad guys” are winning, they even make little references or comments about it regarding inflation and how nobody approves of our government. But that’s it, just murmurs. Nothing more. Nobody does anything about it or actually says out loud what the problem is, and that further discourages people who KNOW what the problem is from doing anything, too. It’s a terrible cycle and is bound to collapse soon enough.
I am with you though it’s so tiring being raised and living in a liberal hellscape lol. Education here is capitalist education, not quality education… it is not for the betterment of humanity or the beauty of learning but to create the most profitable worker.
But that’s it, just murmurs. Nothing more. Nobody does anything about it or actually says out loud what the problem is
Because there’s no worker’s party, no? And I don’t mean it as “party in the political mainstream that is legal and claims to be for the people”. I mean an organised effort, ala Lenin’s vanguard.

Speaking for Austin, we recently wrapped up a community outreach campaign concerning Austin Energy’s rate hike proposal. We did quite a bit of canvassing across town to talk to people about the rate hike, hear how it would impact them, say what we could do immediately and more long term to address it. A summary article:
We weren’t able to completely negate the rate hike, but we did manage to blunt some of the worst aspects and slow the bleeding.
We’re now in the midst of organizing an abortion protest on the anniversary of Roe v Wade. I’m not sure how much direct canvassing/outreach we’ve been doing for it, but I know we’ve been flyering downtown at least.
We have the CPUSA, which was a militant party during the 30s, and now just sits around endorsing Democratic Party candidates. Exception was when they got off their collective asses last year to… denounce Haz and the Infrared people, because apparently the CPUSA is so pathetic that an unhinged Youtube personality actually looks appealing and like a step forward to a whole lot of their membership.
Hasn’t stopped Infradorks from chanting CPUSA2036! and using their namesake in their Twitter handles lol. Not that it really matters all that much as of the moment.
I know for a fact that the CPUSA, party-wide, is generally getting more radical. The membership grows and so too does their understanding of Marxism-Leninism. There are things being won and battles being fought that people outside of the party can’t, and probably shouldn’t, be able to see just yet. There is however a lot of archaic bureaucratic bullshit keeping old-guard Democrat simps in power and preventing a shift towards an actual policy of demcent and true vanguardism. This is all info that’s been relayed to me by people involved the past couple of years.
I still think PSL is the best bet, and I know it’s growing in reach, influence and membership. But it’s certainly a race against time.
That’s good to know. I remember the persistent rumors, some years ago, that the CPUSA was going to ditch Marxism altogether and rebrand as a liberal org called “People Before Profits.” It seemed a little dubious to me, and I never quite believed it. But stories like that did seem indicative of a certain frustration among CPUSA members. Glad to hear that progress is being made on the inside.
Correct. I’m just saying, it’s surreal to see so many people so unhappy yet nothing change. It really brings to light how important the party is in mobilizing the people.

It’s a racist caricature, yet people somehow think it’s okay to use it. :\
Love it, perfect description!
We’re literally living in Resident Evil currently
but what’s umbrella corp? nemesis would be a metaphor of capitalism trying to destroy communism (born from inside it) with all its might?
Umbrella corp HQ is Washington DC
Theory be our guns to defeat the Zombies!
Imagine fighting Zombies with sickle and hammer, that would be so sick☭
Yes, even for fighting fascists! I always wondered how cool it would be to fight them with a HammSick.
Quality post 👍
Thank you!
did the whole “Elenskyy” stuff begin after i made a meme of zelensky disintegrating after he realizes that his name begins with z
I think I saw “Elenskyy”
firstoutside Lemmygrad. Like /leftypol/. But I’m unsure if it began from your meme.Though I’ll admit I don’t think I saw your meme. What was it?It was on the old gzd server where i made a meme of zelensky disintegrating after he realizes his name begins with Z
I present you: Elonskyy (somebody good at photoshop do a Musk/Zelensky crossover)
The Ultimate Reddit-Tier Celebrity.
they look pretty similar already

Are your parents JREG, by any chance?
Yes in fact they are. Both of them!

There’s the Party for Socialism and Liberation, a revolutionary Marxist-Leninist party.
How’s their outreach?
