[green] So what's your ideology? Me, I'm a socialist

[red, in a hood, looking mean] I'm an arachno-communist

[green, happy] Oh, that's pretty cool, both our ideologies are

[zoom on green's face, looking worried] …wait, you said you're a what?

[red, looking demonic, unleashes spiders towards us while screaming] GO FORTH MY MINIONS! SEIZE THE MEANS OF PRODUCTION

Seen this text floating around a couple times, I like your illustration though.

Hah, the cycle of recycling.

Got the idea from an IRC chat with a friend, guess he must have been quoting that meme, so I ended up copying this meme without being aware of its existence!

All art is derivative whether we are aware of it or not.

[–] Klear@quokk.au 12 points 1 day ago

I've heard that before...

[–] null@piefed.nullspace.lol 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I recognized it too but yours is infinitely better. I vote it becomes the new standard.

OC artwork will always be better than Wojack shite

[–] ozymandias@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

the new one is a lot better because this sneaks in the “really, how old are you” part, implying that anarcho-communism is a childish notion

[–] Doc_Crankenstein@slrpnk.net 3 points 1 day ago

A childish notion only to children who can't understand it.

[–] axx@slrpnk.net 1 points 23 hours ago

Yeah, this one's grim.

Also available as a smugimation

The silly sketch born of the silly idea that became this silly comic

You fool, that spider only has seven legs.

[–] Bad@jlai.lu 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Ah shit you're right, I'm an imbecile !

[–] FartMaster69@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yeah, this definitely won’t cover your outstanding balance.

[–] Bad@jlai.lu 4 points 1 day ago

OMG thank you very much Fart Master 69 you just unlocked a core memory

[–] saltnotsugar@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Would the Soviet Union still exist if it was run by trillions of spiders? Experts believe that, yes, yes it would.

https://archive.is/pBjV7 they found this one only recently, and i believe that somewehere deep enough in complete darkness never visited by a human being, there's an arachnocommunist utopia where trilions of spiders lived in prosperity since before humans ruled the earth, and will continue long after we're gone.

As a wise uncle once said, with great power comes the responsibility to sing about spiders.

[–] squaresinger@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You have a crucial typo in the second line of your transcript.

Wouldn't point it out normally, but it ruins the joke.

[–] Bad@jlai.lu 7 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

That is actually a pretty huge typo.

Fixed it. Thanks a lot!

[–] squaresinger@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

No problem!
