Original post deleted. But I had to take a look at this "ally" account that posted some banal validation, and WTF is this?

Brainwashed communist teenager? Munchausen mommy? Or just some AI/bot? And if it's the latter, it makes me wonder how many people have been pushed over the edge to fuck themselves up because of the encouragement of a robot.

communist

You have no fucking idea what communism is, do you?

If you think Stalin, Marx, Lenin, Mao etc would have had any time for this trans shit, you're even dumber than the people who think putting a dress and lipstick on a man magically transforms him into a woman.

Communist is just another identity that one can self-identify into. It's a religion. You're either your a believer or a bourgeois (infidel.)

This. These people are all deeply narcissistic and could never handle being in a system where they aren't special.

Quiet, you're talking about real Communism and not Tumblr Tankies and how their core belief of communism is "Karl Marx had a long white beard, Santa Claus has a long white beard- ergo, communism is literally Santa Claus."

It's more "I don't wanna work and get free stuff" kind of communism when in real life it's more like "you work for benefit of state without adequate pay and if you don't work we let you freeze to death in crappy apartment, and maybe we let you do that if you do work too."

I'm more a fan of the Kabutz style small scale "communism" but I very much doubt one of these people is going to be happy at the prospect of growing their own food since it requires work.

They all think they'll be poets or something similar. They'll be down in the mine with the rest of us.

Well technically as true believers they'll be up against the wall right after they've 'won'.

But you forget- they're true believers who know the true believers will be up against the wall, but they also go past 'truly believe' and go to 'they cannot possibly fathom a result of the revolution that doesn't end with them, personally, as the dictator in complete power. They don't fear Stalin taking power in their communist world because in their mind, there could be an infinite infinity of multiverses, including ones created from us positing this existence, and in their mind every single one of those multiverses end with them becoming Stalin.

I think we both said that using different wording, but yes. It's not viewing communism as what it is in real life, but rather "communism will give them everything their little heart desires for nothing and the rest of the world will happily toil to let them live in luxury because they're so fucking special and they're the main character, and the whole world realizes that!"

Actually, anyone with half a brain understands precisely what he meant by “brainwashed communist teenager”.

That’s the whole joke. The people who most openly identify as “communist” are usually the types who would be put against the wall within a week of a communist society coming into existence. The types who can barely scrape together a functional existence, yet think they will be the ones in charge if they get their way. The fact that they don’t actually understand their own ideology is already implied.

Imagine the glorious irony when after celebrating the people's glorious revolution our young non-binary they/them is accepted for a job at the people's glorious bureau of culture and the arts excited to pretend to work on their gay ass art project for five minutes between 8 hour tik tok binges, but o. Their first day at the bureau they are given a hammer and chisel and said to report to people's glorious revolutionary square #345 in Nome Alaska at 5am tomorrow so they can begin work on on statue project "The people's revolutionary joy" depicting a heteronormative couple with small communist baby with baby sized scythe smiling at how happy they are to toil away making food for the state.

I love communism. Now if you excuse me I am off to the people's glorious educational seminar where we will unveil our new plans for the marriage assignment system where in order to help promote the furthering of the revolution we will be assigning the gays and the lesbians together for copulation purposes. Participation is mandatory.
