Sometimes you’re a full blown communist but you’re tired and you wish you could even have the bare minimum amount of dignity and ease in your existence so you absentmindedly say something like “man I wish the healthcare system wasn’t fucked up. I wish I could ride a train to the next city. I wish rent was cheaper” and some absolute weed shows up and says “Oh you’re a social chauvinist? You’re a liberal? Does baby want his first world treats? You want to use slave labor to build social democratic gentrified urbanism on stolen land? You think we should still have landlords? You’re satisfied with begging for scraps?” and it’s like man come on
I want to clarify that I made this post before this site got swallowed by the Twitter Banana Argument, so to be clear: there is no just future without the total demolition of USA imperialism and hegemony, total decolonization, and communism, not social democracy for the first world, but real communism. We in the imperial nations do, in fact, have to do better than begging for scraps and settling for reform. That said, sometimes I am going to wish my friends weren’t drowning in medical bills and that I didnt have to drive 50 miles a day to get to work, and I’m going to bitch about those things on my blog without appending my entire manifesto to it. You are never going to get someone’s entire political outlook from one post, so don’t assume a singular bit of grieving or kvetching is emblematic of a deficiency in moral and political fiber. Don’t mistake me for one of those banana-chauvinist dullards because of this post lmfao.
I should append a giant SOCIAL DEMOCRATS DO NOT INTERACT OR AGREE WITH THIS POST banner to the original, shouldn’t I
