Local communist saves man from drowning.

I’m not joking, my husband just actually did that.

So many people calling themselves “bougie”

and I’m like “DO YOU OWN THE MEANS OF PRODUCTION, CLAIRE? BECAUSE I DON”T FUCKING THINK YOU DO”

How to get Silicone Valley Tech Bros on Board with Communism

“What if we disrupt capitalism? It’s been around forever, and has all these massive inefficiencies. We have all this data at our fingertips now that could allow us to create an economy based entirely on consumer wants and needs with no need for money at all. We can disrupt money as a concept. It’ll be like Uber but for literally everything, seamless, beautiful, a cashless amazon.”

Me after the revolution, looting a Sephora: Wait, was this not what that was about?

Me to my dog: Who’s a good communist? Who’s a good communist?

As a marginalized person, I think a lot of idpol is fucking toxic as hell, like I think getting into the minutia of identity and identification is unhelpful in discussing the material reality of oppressed groups as classes within the working class. We’re not oppressed because of some intrinsic truth about us, but because of where we’ve been placed within the system and I find most idpol really essentializing and exhausting.

You Know I Saw Someone Commenting on This Meme

as applied to the left and they were like “because normal means white cisgendered hetero blah blah blah” and like… fucking no? Because the American left is a fucking toxic place to be for marginalized people. Normal means being constructive rather than ripping everything apart. Normal means being kind instead of rampantly abusive. Normal means caring more about how you treat people than determining the minutia of exactly which segment of the LGBTQ community is allowed to identify with the word “femme”. This is not the way to build a movement. This is not the way to build community. Denying the huge overlap between the history of lesbians and bi woman and MLM and just like… fucking stop it.

Smug moral superiority and ripping each other apart because you hurt isn’t constructive and is never going to be constructive. Dissecting the minutia of how we speak isn’t changing material conditions and honestly, I’m so tired.

Fuck it.

I wonder how many anti-communists you could convince by arguing that capitalism is secretly communist and the only thing that’s not secretly communism is workplace democracy and the abolition of private property (changing the phrasing, of course)

I wish I had the psychological toughness required for law school. I feel like one could do so much good as a public defender, considering the shitty defence a lot of poor people get. Of course, it wouldn’t make the system more just but like you could definitely save some people a lot of suffering.

Also, it’d be a great way to do public service work that’d be of genuine use to working class people

Client: Why do you have a hammer and sickle tattoo?
Me: I’m a straight up communist, buddy.
