On the topic of anti socialism, the concept that class is more of a unifying factor than culture and country is completely ignorant of all of human history. Humans are naturally tribalistic, we can observe that with our primate cousins in the wild as well

And they go after anyone who deviates, even those who don't have a love affair with capitalism.

Obvious humor aside, yes, it is. I would say that's a vice but some think it's a virtue.

You all have such annoying flags to photoshop onto a person's head so I decided to improvise. You got Prussian cavalryman because I didn't have the patience to search a million freikorps images for a guy looking the right direction.

The Marxist worldview is inherently flawed in that sense, because it encourages the destruction of cultural and national identity in favor of an artificial class identity. This cultural destruction has often been violent, throughout history, which should come as no surprise since Marxist theory specifically encourages such actions due to the belief class is more unifying than culture and nation
