Because I hate the bro-y culture that persists in so many communist and anarchist spaces, and I’m sick of having to deal with misogyny when I just want to talk theory.

Also The Warsaw Pact Nations
A: Never said they had communism.
B: Said they had socialism, but socialism is defined as “A system where the workers own the means of production” except in these states the state owned the means of production so that’s clearly something else.
So they were “socialist” as much as the United States is “at peace” with Iraq, after all we never formally declared war, so like… yeah
I’m increasingly coming to believe
that at least 60% of arguments are based on semantic/definitional issues.
Like when I argue with anti-communists they think I mean “the structure of the Warsaw pact nations” when I say “communist” when I mean “Marx’s idea of a post state, post scarcity social organization”
One day I’m going to be one of the popular tumblr communists
Actually what counts? Maybe I already am.
Imagine going to the market in a post scarcity society, leisurely picking out cereal knowing there is no checkout, no worries about money, just picking out what you need, and chatting with your shopping buddy.
Imagine how that would feel.
Perfume to the people, tchatchkies to the people, power to the people, but also knickknacks to the people, flat screen tvs and elective surgery to the people.
Fun shit distributed in an equitable manner to the people along with control of the means of production
The scarcity of pepes is a condition created by capitalism
Even the bougiest of bougie fucks knows communists do all the best shit posting around here.
What amazes me is capitalism’s ability to show us the greatest abundance imaginable and insist on a the absolute scarcity of all the means of life
It is evidenced by out wastage of good and edible food, the fact of commodious and beautiful houses left empty to rot.
What obscene parsimony to ignore developments that could improve the lives of all in favor of focus groups to attempt sell more pointless widgets to those of us who for lack of money are denied such necessities as medicine and safe homes?
How is a system that puts to work its brightest mathematicians and inventors not to assist the many but enrich the few not dismissed as ridiculous the moment it is proposed?
They call us utopian dreamers as an insult but is it not indicative of an incredible lack of imagination to call this the best we can do? Is it not absolutely absurd to suggest that the might of human ingenuity could not devise something better than this lumbering mass of inefficiency and waste?
