Well If No One Else WIll Make A Handy Set of Suggestions For Building Communism I Will:

1. Honestly, it’s a good idea to get drunk with the people you’re trying to convince of the glorious truth of communism
2. Don’t fuck the people you’re trying to convince of the glorious truth of communism (usually… there are exceptions, to be fair I did get radicalized by someone I am shtupping)
3. Don’t talk down to people, in fact ideally be from the same class as the people you’re trying to convince of the glorious truth of communism
4. Make lots of jokes so that they know that communism can be fun, but only if you’re good at jokes.
5. I don’t know why but board game nights really seem to clinch it
6. Be sure to stress that the point is at the end you get more stuff and are also free from tyranny and oppression.  
6. Give people books, seriously just give them books to read, books are awesome (I mean leftist theory books)
7. Stop fucking speaking in acronyms, it’s not accessible to newbies and is unwelcoming and shitty.  If someone has dyslexia, many texts are available in audiobook format
8. Feed them
10. Talking to them when you have another leftist to back you up works better because of peer modeling I think.
11. Be ready to be patient working on shitty political stances of gender and sexuality and shit, if you’re doing political education you have to actually expect to have to do it
12. Dress neatly, if you look like a scruffy anarcho-punk a lot of people will think you’re a subcultural type, or well actually what I mean is look like the peer group you’re trying to convince.  Other sex workers don’t look at me some student radical who has no idea what they actually go through, they see a peer.  If you work in a warehouse, look like your coworkers, and so on.
13. Don’t tell working class people that asceticism is how to fix the world, you goddamn asshole

Since you are into both writing and bimbofication, would you ever write a story where the main character was into bimbofication but where that wasn’t what the store revolved around? Like, not erotica, but detective fiction or something. Like, a detective/college professor/forensic scientist who solves crimes who just so happens to be into bimbofication. Or a bimbo doggedly gathering research to take down a corrupt corporation.

Yes, actually that’s a little bit of the current romance story I’m working on, it’s about a stripper who stopped doing lefty shit to take care of her little sister after their parents died falling in love with a sexy revolutionary and them helping to bring about full communism.  It’s like somewhat aside from the main part of the story, but it does also deal with her getting taken less seriously by shitty people in the movement.

Here’s a bit of the introduction:

So before this story starts off, let me tell you, I’m probably not the kind of gal you normally root for.  From my very big very fake boobs to my extension filled platinum blonde hair to my hot pink talons, sexual promiscuity and sky high heels and that little wiggle in my walk, let’s be honest, a lot of other women often kinda don’t like me, some women because I’m “reinforcing patriarchal beauty standards” and others because they believe my mere existence is going to tempt their menfolk away from home and hearth into my welcoming (yeah right) arms, and others because they assume my boobs are inversely proportional to my brain (which even if they were wouldn’t make me a bad person) and men treat women like me nice when they won’t give them the time of day (which is bullshit, I just get treated a different kind of shitty.) 

Now let me also explain that I don’t want your man, I don’t think the way I look is any better than how you look, and that the next time a dude is shitty to you in my presence he’s getting a stiletto to the family jewels and you’re getting a hug if you want one and a tissue from my giant pink purse if you need one.

This drawing, by Swedish artist Karl Jilg shows how much public space we’ve surrendered to cars

@thepeacockangel I’m curious what your take is on a post scarcity solution to private vehicles and how much space they take, especially in sub/urban areas 

Well I think we’d need to look at what benefits cars give and come up with a way to replace them.

The benefits of cars are:
1. Speed vs public transport: No transfers, no waiting, no having to wait for other people to get on and off

2. Ability to easily transport large objects/heavy stuff like groceries and furniture

3. Comfort: A car where you control the temperature is more comfortable than where you don’t

4. A place to stow your shit without lugging it around.

I think for 1 we’d probably use good IT to create public transport that can be called like an uber, and takes several people who want to go to the same place to the same place, we’d also maybe have communal stocks of cars that are available to anyone so you can take a car that’s appropriate to the situation (mini car for parking in a city, SUV for offroading, minivan for hauling the kids to grandma) because right now people end up with cars that are too big for some stuff and too small for others, how nice would it be to have that big truck for moving and be able to switch it out for a smart car when you’re just running into town. Also we can do community planning so that people going to the same places live close together, because everything will be based on free association workplaces will be groups of people who like each other and want to work together, so they can live in neighborhoods designed for the purpose and organize a work shuttle.

For 2 I think a similar solution works (I imagine that we’ll have self driving cars by then) and maybe a weekly twice weekly neighborhood grocery delivery drone

For 3 devices to make walking more comfortable (perhaps some kind of temperature controlled bubble or indoor/underground sidewalks to keep people comfy in bad weather) and compartments for individuals on public transport.

For 4: Robot pack mules you can take inside maybe, with a storage compartment inside?

Also just urban planning to make walkability more of a priority, planned and intentional communities so that what you need will be within easy walking distance and the people you want to hang out with will be close by

Also as it’s still more space efficient to have a whole FUCK TON of public transport than individual cars, just a fuck ton of public transport (that doesn’t require giant roads.

I imagine most cities would stop having cars within the city limits, though I do think broad streets are nice for the light they let in, but we could certainly narrow a fair number down a bit.

I imagine a society where you can walk to pick up food and anything else you need quickly, and everything else is delivered by drone

Also maybe those conveyer belt sidewalks like they have in airports so you can get where you’re going faster.

I mean really generally walking is good for people, as is getting outdoors now and then so I’d want to plan communities to encourage it and make it easy and pleasant

In This Romance Novel The Bourgeois Hero Is Lectured By Two Proletarian Women On His Abandonment of His Parents Money (without redistributing it, which is bougie as fuck)

but also is ultimately a fantasy about being rescued from the proletariat by a bourgeois man, and given respectable status.

I suspect this mythology combined with the idea of the slut (something proletarian women are stigmatized as being) being the kind of woman you don’t marry, allows bourgeois men sexual access to proletarian women but precludes the possibility of social mobility through marriage.

IDK just a thought.

They also often serve as morality tales about the importance of maintaining the performance of respectability and propriety, but also often disseminate certain elements of proletarian culture and morality.
