Antifa LARPing

By

(From 8 years ago!!)

LARPing is the verb form of LARP, which is an abbreviation for Live Action Role Playing. It originates from the D&D/pre-internet roleplaying community to refer to players who opt to act out their RPG games. As with most things, most of the players are very dull, average and less than psychotic but, as with most things, the craziest elements are amplified by people on the outside who find it amusing. So, you’ll hear the most about the people who take it way too seriously.

In political terms, it’s a pretty recent one. It refers to political activists, almost always anarcho-communists, who use an ideology as an accessory to their identity and a fun thing to go out and do on weekends, but don’t really understand the theory of, and don’t really care that much about beyond a surface level. It was coined, as far as I know, as a response to anarcho-communists and Antifa activists who protested at Berkeley earlier this year, or who supported them online. It was incredibly common to see people who fancied themselves as revolutionary guerilla fighters, or saw this as some sort of civil-war battle against reactionary forces, despite the fact that the whole thing was a glorified riot where both extremists attacked peaceful moderates and then pretended like they were attacking the other extremists (I say ‘both sides’ in an attempt to sound balanced, but really it was just the communists.)

The theme that anti-coms noticed was that these people seemed more interested in pretending to be rebels than they were in affecting real change. They somehow thought that they were going to overthrow the capitalist system by pepper-spraying libertarians or throwing M-80 firecrackers at groups of Kekistan nerds. Despite the fact that, one some level, they must have known how futile this riot would ultimately be, they still carried themselves like it was some decisive battle that would in some way hurt the opposing side.

So, a parallel was drawn. Much like role players who get sucked too far into their game and almost seem to not know the difference between the game and real life, these protesters were likened to role players who got sucked too far into their activism and now seem to think that they’re soldiers in a revolution. They’ve lost track of the true importance of their actions and now place far more importance than is warranted on relatively unimportant events. They’re like crazy, live action role players.

As with most terms on the internet, it’s good and clever for about a week, then it enters the common vernacular and begins to lose all meaning. People sometimes refer to all online Socialists as LARPers, which isn’t true. Many of them truly believe in their ideology, understand it well, and understand that we are, at the very least, a very rough half decade away from any real communist uprising. Some people refer to the cringy Kekistan kids as LARPers, but this also isn’t true. The logic is that they dress using Roman or Spartan armor, or use an aesthetic derived from medieval crusaders, and that they too are LARPers. I think this is incorrect. While the Antifa protesters truly think that they’re communist revolutionaries fighting the system in a meaningful way, the Kek geeks are really just stirring the pot. They use the aesthetics they do because it’s a meme, and because they know it’ll upset the leftist protesters. While the leftists truly believe that they’re fighting in a revolution, the Cuckistanis do not really believe that they’re in the holy land fighting Arab muslims. It’s a false equivalency, although I do find them pretty cringeworthy.

And lastly, it should be said that most of the leftist protesters at Berkeley were not LARPing. Sure, a few of them got too into it, but most of them were simply young people looking for an excuse to perform morally-justified violence. They know this isn’t a revolution, and they know their actions ultimately won’t mean much. They just wanted an excuse to physically harm people for the crime of disagreeing with them. Blanketing their actions with the excuse of stupidity or a tenuous grasp on reality is an unjust way to relieve them of the responsibility for their actions in a small way. A few of them were LARPers, but most of them were just delinquents and shitty people.

Oh, the only other group you need to worry about legitimately being called LARPers are Tankies. The ones who go on making cringy “communist party” groups on DeviantArt and Steam and as an after-school club. Honestly, they’re mostly kids who like the aesthetic and want to RP and I can’t begrudge them for that. It’s not a crime to be a stupid kid, and they’ll grow out of it.

Operation Unmask Marxism: Day One

Mission: Marxism becomes Public Enemy #1—its ideology exposed, its history weaponized, its followers rattled.

1. Name the Beast—Launch the Blitz

  • X Ignites: Musk fires the first shot: “Marxism’s not dead—it’s in your schools, your streets, your courts. Same red poison, new mask. #UnmaskMarxism.” Trump follows: “I’m fighting Marxist lawfare—they’re burning Tesla for it. Time to call it what it is.”
  • Voices: Xi Van Fleet posts: “Mao’s Marxism took my childhood. America’s next unless you stop it.” Jesse Kelly: “Your kid’s teacher’s a Marxist—check the syllabus.” Andy Ngo: “Antifa’s not ‘anti-fascist’—it’s Marxist chaos, full stop.” Kash Patel: “DOJ’s got Marxist fingerprints. I’ve seen the files.”
  • Reach: #UnmaskMarxism trends by noon. Bots and patriots amplify—every post tags it. “Red Roots, Dead Ends” stickers hit cars, walls, campuses.

2. Show the Blood—Drop the Hammer

  • Visuals Hit: X threads roll out—black-and-white shots of Holodomor skeletons (7 million starved), Mao’s famine dead (45 million), Pol Pot’s skull piles (2 million). Caption: “Marxism: 100 million dead. This is your ‘justice.’” Video montage—grainy gulag footage, Cuban escape boats—ends with Tesla arson clips: “Same ideology, new targets.”
  • Media Push: Patel leaks a “Marxist unrest” memo (real or staged) to X—ties Antifa to DOJ blind spots. Ngo drops a riot supercut: “Portland 2020, Atlanta 2023, Tesla 2025—Marxism’s calling card.” Ads run on X, Rumble: “100 million graves. Still want this?”
  • Ground Game: Tesla attack sites get billboards—charred chargers with “Marxism’s Toll: 100,000,000+ Dead.” QR codes link to survivor accounts—Van Fleet’s voice: “I lived this. You don’t have to.”

3. Mock the Myth—Burn It Down

  • Memes Drop: X lights up—“Marxism: utopia so good they built walls to keep people in.” Pic of a Che-shirted kid captioned: “Thinks he’d survive Stalin’s bread line.” Video: hipster rations a Twinkie in “Marxist paradise”—“Day 3, still no equality.”

  • Edge: “Utopia’s a myth—100 million died proving it. You’re not deep, you’re duped.” Goes viral—college X accounts ratioed into silence.

4. Personalize It—Wake the Kids

  • Callouts: X warriors tag influencers: “@AOC, your ‘equity’ is Mao’s famine—own it.” “@protestbro, Red Guards would’ve snitched on you—still stanning?” Randoms get hit: “@collegeleftist, you’d fold in a labor camp. Drop the red flag.”

The Shake—Direct to the Kids

“Listen up, you starry-eyed brats: Marxism’s not your rebellion—it’s a death cult. 100 million dead—starved, shot, buried for a lie. Stalin’s famines, Mao’s purges, Pol Pot’s fields—that’s your ‘utopia.’ Soviet Union’s dust, China’s a factory, Cuba’s a jail. You’re not heroes; you’re suckers for a con that’s killed more than wars. Tesla burns, Trump’s sued—same red thread. Drop the fantasy. 100 million ghosts beg you.”

Day One Impact

  • X’s ablaze—#UnmaskMarxism tops charts, 10 million posts. Kids mute their red flags, scared of the ratio.
  • News can’t ignore it—CNN calls it “right-wing panic”; Fox runs “Marxist threat real?” Split drives chatter.
  • Streets tense—Antifa scatters or doubles down; arrests spike. Tesla’s fortified, Musk smirks.
  • Culture shifts—parents check homework, profs back off “theory.” The thread’s named, and it’s bleeding.

This is #1—Marxism’s on blast, its dead paraded, its myth gutted. Signal’s live. What’s the next push?

Thomas Jefferson

"It is error alone which needs the support of government. Truth can stand by itself."

Aristotle

"Only an armed people can be truly free. Only an unarmed people can ever be enslaved."

Karl Popper

“A theory which is not refutable by any conceivable event is nonscientific. Irrefutability is not a virtue of a theory (as people often think) but a vice.”
