I still believe in the idea that the CIA or factions within the bourgeoisie assassinated JFK. It doesn’t matter that JFK was a war criminal who was just as bad as most other Presidents in the United States history. What matters is that his death to this day just comes off as incredibly suspicious and the fact that he wanted to get rid of the CIA just makes me… not really trust the official narrative. I mean, the narrative painting the man who did initially as a communist just seems too convenient…

I’m sorry, I know how I sound, but I used to grow up with 9/11 conspiracy theories as well. In many ways, it made me anti-imperialist, but it certainly did give rise in me to certain suspicious about the US government as well. I know that I shouldn’t be thinking like this, but honestly? I don’t know. And perhaps none of us will know for sure. But I can’t help but get the feeling that the bourgeoisie would easily cannibalize their own.

The US would never kill its own head of state? They’re easily replaceable, don’t have complete control of the federal government, and besides, kings were assassinated by nobles way back when for much less.

Honestly, I get how I sound, and maybe it’s my extreme case of OCD, but I just grew up with this as a fact. Maybe I need to rethink all this.

I’m sorry, comrades, but this is kinda hard for me.

    The CIA came up with the term “conspiracy theorist” in order to discredit people that believed in stuff like JFK conspiracy theories. And either way, the death was pretty suspicious and couldn’t have been done by some random communist. I’d rather trust that unnamed source than the official narrative.

      This is one of the purposes of the lie; not only to paper-over the differences between liberalism and Marxism, but to imply the US government is some sort of omnipotent entity that couldn’t be shook to the core by the actions of a single individual. Can’t have people getting the idea that they too could change the course of history, if they are just willing to pick up a gun and fight!

      I’d rather trust that unnamed source than the official narrative.

      The “American” government has no qualms peddling bullshit themselves to gullible people; just look at the QAnon stuff.
