Look here:

class BaseListView(MultipleObjectMixin, View):
    """
    A base view for displaying a list of objects.
    """
    def get(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
        self.object_list = self.get_queryset()
        allow_empty = self.get_allow_empty()

        if not allow_empty:
            # When pagination is enabled and object_list is a queryset,
            # it's better to do a cheap query than to load the unpaginated
            # queryset in memory.
            if self.get_paginate_by(self.object_list) is not None and hasattr(self.object_list, 'exists'):
                is_empty = not self.object_list.exists()
            else:
                is_empty = len(self.object_list) == 0
            if is_empty:
                raise Http404(_("Empty list and '%(class_name)s.allow_empty' is False.") % {
                    'class_name': self.__class__.__name__,
                })
        context = self.get_context_data()
        return self.render_to_response(context)

Basically – you missed this part in the POST handler:

self.object_list = self.get_queryset()

And to be honest – I am not quite sure if this is a good idea to add post to the generic ListView in django. It looks more like FormView – but I can be wrong here.
