Most people who call themselves communists these days, especially on reddit, are edgelords with no theoretical basis for what they espouse. Workers movements are dead. We live in one of the most politically flaccid times in history for the left. The few (tiny and fragmented) left wing organisations remaining are drowning in idpol bullshit.

That doesn't mean communism is bad- quite the opposite, our current issues are a result of neoliberalism, not leftism. The working class needs to be radicalised again.

The working class betrayed their betters by choosing to stay under capitalist rule rather than jump in front of the bullets necessary to implement a communist revolution.

Thus the bitter anger at the working class displayed today and the determination to replace them with more pliable immigrants. This was long before Trump and Brexit. Those were the fucking last straw and the mask of kindness came off. Today the attitude is FUCK the working class and those deplorables can go die in a fire. They are The Other.

This is probably your least insightful comment ever. I’ll save it for you.

What does this even mean? Am I talking to a bot?

The working class betrayed Marxism. Why else have Marxists been paying them back in their own coin?

Twitter and the rest of the US media are very clearly drowning. /s
