Yeah, some of these posts get wild. It's a shame, since the actual communists are cool.
It is interesting seeing the left's version of MAGAts, though.
I'm sure you know a lot of these real communists and they don't exist entirely in your head
Well, the "real world" labor movement and activism is a great way to make all kinds of friends. A lot of socialists and a few communists, given the history of the movements. They tend to be actual adults too -- so very little drama.
I'm just glad I outgrew my "angsty teenage communist" phase where I was just an ass on the internet. Blindly quoting Marx with no self awareness or understanding of context. Hell, blindly quoting Marx before I realized sometimes even decent, intelligent people can have great ideas but still get parts wrong: he was a man, flawed as any of the rest of us.
Ha, could you imagine?
The fact that you're so focused on marx is really what showing your ass here. Almost like you're full of shit.
But also I and plenty of others do spend time organizing offline. Turns out I have the free time to both organize offline and post if I want to. Actually I suspect most anyone who does organizing has that much free time.
