"They will do socially necessary work like garbage removal and food distribution"

The horror

Really good at telling on themselves, aren't they

I don't give half a shit if I'm a part of any committee, I just want people to not die of easily preventable causes when the solutions have been artificially walled off

But these dipshits are always like 'hurr durr breadline, hurr durr garbageman'

Then again, no one intelligent is conservative these days unless they're grifting, so I guess we should be impressed they can operate a computer

They're threatening me....with stable employment?

Well don't mind if I do.

What's so bad about being a bread line clerk? I'd totally do that as long as I got a living wage. That thing fast food workers in free-market paradises don't get.

I'd love to be a bread line clerk. Feeding the hungry is very satisfying work.

I unironically would love to work in garbage disposal. Maybe cleaning sidewalks from stray trash, or the city canals from the trash, or in a recycling plant. I never saw such a job offer within a fine distance - they're always super far. :(

They do believe this, sort of. They can't imagine someone trying to build a better society for all because they would never do that themselves. So they assume the only reason anyone could ever be a communist is so they can make their way up the corporate ladder and "be the boss"

I wonder if that applies to national socialists too, or they'll make a special exception for them?

Oh no please don't throw me in that briar patch

I'm sure they would hate that.

I think these guys are anti-Deng, so they probably would.

Oh no, please don't deport me to China, a place I am definitely not actively planning to move to as soon as humanly possible.

Yeah, the 1850s

what is avakianists?

Yeah these are the RevComs and they've been around since 1975. They recently put out a kind of assertive proclamation about who they are and what their goals are, so maybe that's what the news is going on about. They do this every few years though. Their messaging is always very aggressive agitprop style stuff.

Also the various communist parties hold precisely zero weight in most Americans' political imagination because they're largely unknown compared to the Democrats and Republicans. You'll still here them say things like "the communist party" (singular) and if you ask them to clarify they have no idea who they mean specifically.

Me. I paid all of them.

If only I’d known all the barns I passed on my road trips offered take out, would’ve saved me so much trouble
