You are the fancy ass minimalist trend. Have you ever experienced material deprivation? The desire for parties and beautiful things and frivolity is a response to the dourness of our lives, you fucking egg.
Trying to make a virtue of deprivation is the bougiest shit.
Like “Oh look at me I’m so virtuous and tasteful, I’ve eaten 5 organic almonds today and that’s all, my house is a white room, I don’t own things because I’m tasteful and not a horrible proponent of the worst kind of consumerism the way poor people are”
It’s easy to love minimalism and your 5 fucking almonds when you’ve never had to worry about where your next meal is coming from.
Get out of leftism and take your smug cultural protestant shit with you, don’t let the door hit you on the way out.
“We hereby reject any form of self-imposed austerity. We posit that we want nice shit for everybody and that is not only feasible but desirable. We will not put forth graphs announcing how much work (or not) will require such a project but will state that such a project is part of our desire for communism. We hereby reject all forms of feigned punk slobbiness, neo-hippie shabby chic, or pajamas in the outdoors. We see the stores in the bourgeois parts of town (& the newly-gentrified ones too) and say that we want that shit and even more. Capitalism is that which stands in the way of us having the shit we want with its hoarding of commodities only to sell them to highest bidder.”
NICE SHIT FOR EVERYBODY (link to rest of text)
Yes, seize the means of production and the good table cloth. I refuse to be your virtuous prole, I reject the idea of saintly undemanding poverty, we the proletariat demand bread and exquisitely made shoes. I refuse the idea that we deserve merely the minimum required to sustain life, that or less is what we get under capitalism. I believe the whole of the proletariat wants and deserves more.
