They just haven't seen good leftist memes yet. I used to think the same thing, and I'm left-wing. That was before I discovered things like Stonetoss edits and Tumblr's meme culture.

Just saying.
It has its place in very specific circumstances, same as, "Hello fellow white people".

I wish the workers of Buzzfeed News would just seize the whole thing and turn it into a nice co-op that does nothing but journalism.

Well...we don't actually know. Just sort of happened one day.
Is it a reunited Yugoslavia in the 21st century? Is a rebel colony world in the far future? Is it a race of cyborg neo-life at war with any assimilating organisms they come across in the far far future? Who knows, who cares?

Your type literally blames everything on cultural marxism, you know. You nazis need a better excuse. "cultural marxism" is as tired a response as it is stupid.

I mean, if we use the "classical" definition of memes, then memes are a part of politics, yes.

And an extremely old one at that, born in the simmering, pungent depths of American conservative intelligentsia as a 100% self-serious argument against any sort of social progress on the basis that some Jewish intellectuals from the 30s and 40s kinda thought post-Enlightenment culture was a horrible breeding ground for fascism.

When people praise Stalin, I don't think they realize that would have absolutely no impact on them being sent to the gulags. He didn't play favorites when it came to torturing people, just ask his relatives.
