my favourite part about leftism in america and really most of the west is that you’re meant to be anti war, but you’re meant to just forget that it involves not flooding the world with killing machines

don’t worry that was handled before you were even born, fucking hell get out of my country

why are the cons resorting to the comrade harris thing, more than any other democrat I can remember they are leaning on this weird marxist angle where they make shit post tier commie posters of kamala

this is going to be laughable on the face of it to any center leftie and the further left you go the more you’re just creating a subconscious connection between kamala and communism that might even rouse a communist to give a shit just for the sick prop posters alone

I guess it’s just for the cons to share and updoot each other

truly comprehending that my way of life is only possible via the labor exploitation of countries I’ve never seen and are told not to visit did a lot to turn me into an insufferable tankie

it’s a weird premise for a political comic because like your average communist is just not going to participate in electoralism, you can figuratively drag them kicking and screaming and they’re still not going to vote for you lol

Nothing gets me more ‘oh great commie forefathers we have failed you’ than seeing old soviet propaganda about uplifting and empowering women. I geniuenly believe we still need that to this day and absolutely loathe the placification of feminism under liberal ideologies

anarchism is a handy tool for radicalization. lots of people get attracted to the cool aesthetics of anarchism and that feeling of intellectual superiority you get when you can recite some obscure untested and unfounded political theory

so it’s ineffective outside of the individual’s ego but it does position them firmly against capital and modern statehood. if you sit in that long enough you start to build genuine hatred for the status quo. genuine hatred leads to genuine curiosity which leads to actually reading theory and uncovering the utterly absurd idealism of anarchist theory

this isn’t like a codified pipeline and anarchist theory still poisons the well of a lot of western leftist discussion, but most commies I know in real life had personal brushes with anarchism in their past. and if all else fails they’re still useful idiots when things get spicy. that whole ‘you’re alright now, it’s after the revolution we’ll have problems’ meme.

it’s not your fault that sort of crushing labor is poisonous to your soul. we’re all a product of our material conditions and yours are different to others.

i struggled a lot with work myself, feeling useless for most of my life because i couldn’t enjoy or even tolerate most types of labor that were available to me. there was no easy solution for me but it’s not an impossible situation to escape.

the support you’re going to get from your comrades on grad won’t be as helpful as support you can get from your co-workers or other people immediate in your life. when I worked a factory, we had union reps visiting throughout the week. even just talking to those guys made me feel sane, though the trade union situation in my local area meant they weren’t effective help, they were firm commies (that just couldn’t say so in as many words.)

i hate the whole ‘white women have sex with dogs’ meme

it’s disgusting, obviously, but it’s so mean-spirited as well. like it’s resentful, geniuenly hateful, due to a perceived trend that women have sex with dogs

of course almost all fetish content with animals is made at the behest of, with the involvement of, or specifically to appeal to, men.

I wonder if it’s struck them yet that, as their neoliberal platform fails, other platforms built on fundamentally better ideas and infrastructure are rising up. I wonder if this challenges their preconceived notions at all? Nah, it’s just a bunch of tankies.
