MAGA Patriots Look for Something to Burn, But Can’t Find Anything the Marxists Have Produced, Invented, or Are Proud Of

Conservative MAGA Can’t Find Anything to Burn in Response; the LEFT never made anything…

When Revolutionaries Burn Teslas, and the Other Side Has No Targets

In a dazzling display of ironic protest, self-proclaimed Marxist revolutionaries torched several Teslas last week—vehicles famously produced by Elon Musk, a man who once described himself as a “socialist, but with rockets and stock options.” The fire, according to eye-witnesses, was fueled by righteous indignation, performative rage, and one hemp hoodie accidentally soaked in patchouli oil.

But the incident left MAGA patriots scratching their heads and flipping through product catalogs in vain. As one camo-clad protester put it, “We were fixin’ to retaliate, but couldn’t find a single dang thing them Marxists ever made. Not even a toaster. I checked.”

This sets up the strangest kind of asymmetric warfare: one side torching luxury electric cars, the other stuck wondering whether it’s morally justified to set fire to someone’s ironic zine collection.

What Do You Burn When the Other Side Doesn’t Own Anything?

In traditional protest tit-for-tats, you torch a building, we torch a building. You boycott Chick-fil-A, we boycott Disney+. But this is different.

The problem for the MAGA set is, there’s simply no Marxist equivalent to a Tesla, unless you count a solar-powered scooter shared by five roommates named Kai. One farmer summed it up best: “I’d like to retaliate, but these lovers don’t really make anything… unless you count hashtags, resentment, and artisanal disappointment.”

MAGA folks tried to retaliate, but couldn’t find a single thing made by a Marxist—unless you count a Signal group chat about universal basic income, mutual aid, and how to brew anti-capitalist kombucha in a Brooklyn bathtub.

One group of frustrated patriots reportedly drove 80 miles just to burn a Fair Trade coffee co-op. Turns out it was already out of business because the staff took a four-month sabbatical to explore the emotional impact of capitalism on wild mushrooms.

“It’s like trying to burn down a cloud of vibes and pronouns. You show up with a lighter, and all you find is incense and unpaid internships.” — Ron White

A Tesla Is the New Bastille (But Wi-Fi Enabled)

The Tesla, poor thing, has become a confused icon in the class struggle—too futuristic for boomers, too capitalist for anarchists, too quiet for truck guys, and too flammable for socialists.

One protestor, holding a Molotov cocktail and wearing a Che Guevara tank top, explained, “We’re sending a message to the system.” When asked what system, he gestured vaguely toward a Whole Foods and then asked for someone’s Netflix password.

Another shouted, “This is for the people!” before accidentally igniting his own organic fanny pack filled with gluten-free pretzels.

The irony is thicker than a Brooklyn sourdough starter. These cars weren’t owned by billionaires—they were leased by startup employees who thought “late-stage capitalism” was a podcast genre.

Burn the Flannel?

On the other side, MAGA supporters grew increasingly agitated by their inability to find an equivalent act of vandalism. “We were gonna burn one o’ their farms,” said one patriot, “but turns out they don’t farm. They urban garden on rooftops using reclaimed yogurt containers.”

Attempts to burn Marxist clothing ended in tragedy when protestors learned the thrifted flannels and vintage band tees were too flame-resistant due to the soy-based fabric softener.

One right-wing group considered burning a Bernie Sanders bumper sticker, only to discover it was on their own Subaru.

What the Funny People Are Saying

“Leftist arsonists burning Teslas is like vegans picketing a BBQ by throwing hummus at the brisket—everybody’s confused and nobody’s full.” — Ron White

“You ever notice how people who hate capitalism are always on their iPhones posting about it? It’s like fighting Big Oil by lighting your protest with a Zippo.” — Jerry Seinfeld

“If Marxists made anything, it’d be a five-hour lecture on why nothing should be made. Including the lecture.” — Chris Rock

“They say property is theft. Yeah? Wait ‘til they try paying rent in a commune with ‘vibes.’” — Dave Chappelle

Theoretical Justifications and Other Dumb Ideas

Experts—real and fake—have weighed in. Dr. Rowan McHaver, a sociology professor and part-time DJ, says, “The act of burning a Tesla reflects a subconscious rage toward systems of production they actively participate in, but don’t understand.”

A Pew Research parody poll revealed 78% of self-identified Marxists think Elon Musk is “probably a supervillain,” but 92% still plan to use a Tesla charger “just in emergencies.”

Even Marx himself, were he alive today, would likely scratch his beard and ask, “Why are you burning electric cars when the landlords are right over there?”

Final Thoughts

The modern culture war has entered its most surreal phase: property destruction without property, outrage without ownership, revolution without receipts. The left torches Teslas, the right tries to retaliate but can’t find any Marxist assets beyond a dog-eared copy of The Communist Manifesto and a dream journal.

As one exhausted observer put it: “We’re all just yelling at each other over stuff made by a billionaire neither side actually likes.”

“I Just Want to Burn Something Back”: One Patriot’s Struggle to Retaliate Against People Who Own Nothing

Redstone, Idaho— Out past the Dollar General, next to a tire fire that’s been smoldering since the Bush administration, stands patriot Gerald “Buckshot” Hanley, 58, wearing a Gadsden flag as a poncho and gripping a half-burned copy of Das Kapital. He’s not mad. He’s just… confused.

“They burned a Tesla,” he says, with the gravitas of a man who’s seen the underside of civilization. “A dang ol’ Tesla. I wanted to respond in kind, but what do these Marxist fellas even have? What can I burn that means something to them?”

The Retaliation That Wasn’t

Buckshot gathered his crew—a group of five similarly flannel-clad men who refer to themselves as “The Reclaimers,” even though none of them have reclaimed anything but back pain—and headed into town.

“We were fired up, literally,” Buckshot explains. “Had our tiki torches and everything. But after ten minutes of searchin’, we realized: they ain’t got cars. They ain’t got homes. All they got is tote bags, complicated coffee orders, and a strong sense of moral superiority.”

Their first attempt at retaliation came in the form of book burning. Not Bibles—Buckshot insists on that—but copies of The Communist Manifesto, The Little Red Book, and a damp Noam Chomsky reader someone left in a co-op bathroom.

“We burned four Red Books, two Lenins, and a Che coloring book,” Buckshot recalls. “But it just felt… empty. Like we were fighting an idea with a lighter and some kindling from Barnes & Noble’s clearance bin.”

The Bike Incident

After the symbolic flameout of burning Red Books and soggy Marxist zines, the Reclaimers needed something tangible—something physical—to strike back at the woke insurgency.

So they turned to bikes.
Specifically, the bright, cheerful, corporate-sponsored shared city bikes that lined the downtown corridor like a fleet of smug, pastel-colored virtue signals.

“We knocked over a whole row of ‘em,” Buckshot says, his voice half-pride, half-regret. “Thought maybe they’d care. You know, ‘cause it’s transportation. Movement. Progress. Whatever these folks are into.”

They did not care.

Not even a little.

“Turns out those bikes were owned by some Silicon Valley tech startup that tracks your chakra level via Bluetooth,” Buckshot mutters, shaking his head.

He pauses, remembering the chaos of the moment—five grown men in camo pants and red hats, standing around like confused rodeo clowns at a granola convention, kicking over rental bikes like they were taking Normandy. One man shouted, “This is for America!” while another accidentally tripped over a helmet labeled “Property of Communal Transit Initiative.”

One urban cyclist—a grad student named River—simply watched the whole thing while sipping a turmeric latte and livestreaming it on his ethically sourced phone. “You’re literally attacking a corporate asset, bro,” he told Buckshot. “Deflate capitalism, not yourself.”

Challenge accepted.

“So we let the air outta all the tires,” Buckshot adds, lowering his voice. “Every single one. Front and back. Made a little hissin’ choir of justice.”

But instead of a satisfying moral victory, Buckshot says it just felt… sad.

“Still didn’t feel like revenge. Just made it harder for tourists. One German lady screamed at me in three languages, and I’m pretty sure one of ‘em was sarcasm.”

For a moment, there was silence.
Just a row of knocked-over bikes. Their soft, eco-friendly frames resting in defeat. No fire. No glory. Just disappointment, a half-eaten Slim Jim, and an oddly therapeutic hiss from a tire valve.

Buckshot’s face in that moment—captured in a now-viral meme—is a masterclass in existential dread. Somewhere between “I just shot a deer that was actually a Roomba” and “I drove 60 miles to attack a utopia made of feelings.”

“They don’t own anything, Buckshot says, defeated. Not even the stuff they use to pretend they’re saving the world. Hell, one of them told me his bike was ‘shared property, governed by the collective.’ How do you burn that? How do you destroy a mission statement?”

He kicks a stray helmet for emphasis, but it just rolls gently into a lavender bush.

“Turns out those bikes were owned by a tech company,” Buckshot admits. “One fella shouted at us to ‘deflate capitalism,’ so we let the air out of all the tires. Still didn’t feel like revenge. Just made it harder for tourists.”

Buckshot’s final verdict?

“It’s like trying to fight a cloud of feelings with a stick. You show up ready for battle, and they hand you a tofu wrap and a TED Talk on systemic oppression. I wanted a war. All I got was a parking ticket and a lesson in urban sustainability.”

In the end, the bikes remained the only casualties. Victims of an ideological showdown that never really started, because—let’s face it—you can’t retaliate against a movement whose greatest assets are lo-fi playlists and unresolved parental issues.

What Counts as Marxist Property?

That’s the existential crisis. “We know they hate private property,” Buckshot says. “But we didn’t know that meant they’d have none.”

Here are a few other failed retaliation attempts:

• Burned a Che Guevara poster: It was wheat-pasted to a telephone pole. “Didn’t even peel right. Flame-resistant propaganda, I guess.”

• Kicked over a stack of protest signs: Turned out to be for a climate march, not a Marxist rally. “We apologized. Sort of.”

• Tried to torch an oat milk factory: Found out it was owned by PepsiCo.

• Destroyed a stack of unread zines: No one noticed, because no one had ever read them.

• Smashed a compost bin: Just made everything smell like fermented sadness.

• Targeted a vegan cafe: Realized all the patrons were local, apolitical yoga moms. “They just threw essential oils at us.”

“They Got Nothing to Lose… Literally.”

Buckshot speaks with the weary tone of a man who’s tried to start a fire with wet ideology.

“How do you fight folks who own nothin’? They ain’t got land, they ain’t got livestock, and the only thing they plant is doubt about the American Dream.”

He recalls trying to find a Marxist-run business to boycott: “Someone pointed us toward a bookstore where the staff wears berets. But turns out it’s a front for a nonprofit teaching poetry to shelter dogs.”

Even their clothes are retaliation-proof: “Thrifted. Hand-me-downs. Stuff so ugly and ironic we couldn’t even burn it without looking like art critics.”

Desperate Times, Ridiculous Measures

By week two, things got weird.

The Reclaimers attempted to “cancel” a Marxist-themed improv group by posting one-star Yelp reviews accusing them of “radical interpretive communism.”
No one noticed. The group had already disbanded due to infighting over who would play Trotsky in a sketch.

They even mailed a flaming envelope to the editorial office of a local leftist zine called “Dialectic Pudding.” Unfortunately, the zine is only printed in digital format. And on a blockchain.

“We just wanna feel like we’re part of the struggle too,” Buckshot mutters, gently swatting a protest sticker off a lamppost.

“Revenge Requires Targets”

“I grew up in a time when retaliation meant somethin’,” Buckshot says wistfully. “You sank my battleship, I sank yours. You banned my books, I banned yours. You burned down my Wendy’s, I burned down your… Whole Foods. But now?”

He gestures around helplessly, at nothing in particular—maybe at the empty air where symbols used to be.

“Now they just vibe their revolution,” he says. “You can’t torch a vibe.”

Marxism by Proxy

With no obvious property to attack, Buckshot says the group started retaliating against the idea of Marxism. They burned scarecrows wearing berets. They set fire to a piñata shaped like Karl Marx’s beard. One man brought a goat to a protest labeled “the People’s Livestock.”

“We were gonna burn a Bernie 2016 sticker but realized it was on a Prius that belonged to my niece.”

Final Thoughts from Buckshot

“You ever try to destroy a movement that already destroyed itself?” he asks.

His hope now is simple: that one day, someone on the far left will accidentally succeed at capitalism long enough to own something flammable.

“Maybe a podcast studio,” he says dreamily. “Or a craft brewery. Something I can really get my hands around.”

Until then, he and the Reclaimers will keep patrolling the streets for someone with a Che mug or a Marxist bumper sticker that hasn’t already been peeled off by rain, shame, or irony.
