Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

A community for comrades to chat and talk about whatever doesn't fit other communities

I only had to read books about it.

You can thank the Capitalists for failing to better the system for queer people, the disabled, those without a home, you can thank them for destroying schools, worsening healthcare, making me pay so much money for my disabilities treatments that I could have visited China with that money, the money that gets syphoned off of me just so I can function.

All it takes is one bad day, to fall into a hole and watching countless people pass by you, unwilling to land you a hand, it's obvious a bunch of them could come together and lift you out of there, but why won't they? Maybe you end up stuck there, but maybe you notice people lifting others out of holes, that they've been stuck into, you start to notice some people get lifted out of them more than others and you start copying the ones who get lifted out. You could get lucky and get lifted out, build your own life and if you're feeling generous lift someone out yourself.

Perhaps nobody ends up noticing you, despite all your efforts, then you hear a voice from above ask you: "You want revenge don't you? Look at them, they don't care one bit about you or those others who've been stuck in holes besides you and never managed to escape, wouldn't you want to destroy them? Join me and we'll crush the people who abandoned you, we'll put them in holes."

You could also get lucky and be approached by a comrade who lifts you up and tells you: "Let's plug up the holes, so that nobody falls into one they can't get out of again." But it's profitable to have holes and some people have learned to enjoy them, they have started to worship the holes. They think being stuck in a hole makes you strong, those who survive in a hole all by themselves are glorified, worshipped. They hunt down comrades, doing anything they can to keep the hole society going. Ba dum tss.


To be brutally honest I haven't actually practiced that much Marxism-Leninism. I know the theory. I was raised by a Communist that had his name published in the local newspaper for exemplary work, who died when I was 8 and we had to watch him die in pain at home with no painkillers, too expensive. I suppose it's poetic since apparently Lenin said it'd only take him 8 years to educate a child. And I know nobody is going to help me, you guys are too overloaded and incapable to carry the burden. I'm just waiting for things to collapse and then you will know who I am. Then I won't be a liberal any longer.
