“Italians are the ultimate adversary to the proletariat revolution.”
-Marx, probably
MFW I don’t know how hard Domenico Losurdo carried Marxism at the end of the 20th Century
I hope all of his major works get an English translation, eventually. I know Iskra Books is publishing new posthumous translations.
MFW I have no face
mamma mia, he wanna steal the cannoli right outta my mouth
someone a stop this a communista before my 11 business fronts go arrivederci
there was one good italian. his name was antonio gramsci. the other italians locked him up in prison until he died.
for this, they are cursed by all the gods.
Losurdo was fantastic as well.
One thing not many people know about Gramsci, he was actually Albanian
He was both, his father’s family were Arbëreshë from Albania, while his mother was Sardinian
His mother was tinned fish?
Sea
And Sardinians hardly consider themselves italians
Doubly cursed, since becoming Italians was God’s punishment for the hubris of Rome.
When asked how many Italians would survive a nuclear war, Mao replied: “None at all. But why do you think Italians are so important to humanity?”
it’s actually just foundational to Maoism
I mean it was the brithplace of Rome and then the birthplace of Fascism so Marx was unto something
TBF, they also used to have one of the most powerful communist parties in all of Europe outside of the eastern bloc.
I wish I had a baddie accordion playing Italian communist GF

Not to mention Argentina, isn’t half of Argentina descended from Italians? Something obviously is wrong with them.

Lil Chucky Gaspainzzo finally got his name in print for something besides that salami eating contest he won at the car wash.

“AYYYYYY MY BOI CHARLIE IS FINALLY IN DA NEWSPAPER FOR HIS WRITIN’! AYY I KNEW CHARLIE BOI WOULD MAKE IT! WHAT YOU WRITE BOUT SON?”
“How Mamdani hates Italians.”
“WOAH! WE SUPPORTAH DA DSA IN DIS FAMILY!”
What do we think the odds are of this guy having ever set foot in Italy?
What are the odds he doesn’t even live in NYC and instead has a McMansion in Jersey? Or a condo in Loooonnnggg Island?

He lives in Rowayton, Connecticut but also owns a second home in Jupiter, Florida.
ahh, that’d explain it. boys go to jupiter to get more stupider.
Nothing has ever made more sense…
Me when my anti-It*lianism is found to be foundational to Marxism the whole time

No one’s anti-Italian hate should come as a surprise. It is not rooted in left-wing ideology, but in the simple fact that all Italians are traitorous, repulsive pig people who will poke your eyes out while describing their sister’s new haircut because they think having a seizure is normal body language. But hate is not the answer. The answer is always love, and clapping your hands real loud so that the national cowardice shared by all Italians makes them run away.
Hate Italians, love their food, the struggle.
Greek food is better honestly. Just replace all the Italian restaurants with Greek diners.
Turkish food beats all of them
tukish food and greek food are the same. i’ll let the turks and greeks fight over who originated it.
Eastern Mediterranean food is just generally GOATED. “Oh hey lets dipped spiced meat into fatty sauces with fresh flat bread!” Brilliant, human cuisine peaked there.
“Turkish food is better than Turkish food”, “Greek food is better than Greek food”. They are literally the same.
I’d be OK with this as long as the underground itallian sub market was thriving.
I’m no sandwich historian (as much as I should be), but I’ll bet its Italian in name only. Strip it of the name and it can stay. Same with an italian beef.
There’s surprising regional variation in Italian Subs because they were an invention of various grocers and deli owners in New England trying to sell sandwiches to mostly Italian dockworkers. The infamous Maine Italian has no ingredients associated with Italian cuisine and is made on a hot dog bun.
The Italian Beef is a Chicago original created by adding giardiniera to a French Dip sandwich.
Mods can we tag Emma as our resident sandwich historian?


Anytime an American of Italian descent starts yapping, just link them this video
