Community is a different concept than friendship entirely.

This really underscores a lot of the disconnect IMO between the anime-avatar communists and Black activists, even Black communists. And the tankies talk all day about revolution but can’t answer “who will take care of my kids” because they don’t even understand the question.

It doesn’t have to be your friend showing up in court for you to show up to court support.

I dunno Im fucking terrible at meeting new people and Ive felt really isolated for quite some time by problems that I see in society that I didnt have many people to talk to about and left spaces online have let me express that with other likeminded ppl.

I mean I guess this is how cultish behaviours are formed in some left spaces online but for me its more about having people I can actually discuss things that I normally wouldnt be able to discuss with people I know irl.

This thread is a weird way of describing the atomization of our communities, as if it's an individual's responsibility not to be subject to such a force and not like, something they may or may not be able to navigate given their resources

The US in general is exceedingly inhospitable to community. See Putnam's "Bowling Alone". Failure to form community is certainly a failure, but it's an understandable one. I can't speak to the situation outside the US though.

I actually have social anxiety, don't do well with people. I consider myself a socialist though, not a communist. The difference - well, I still support idea of private ownership - but with redistribution of wealth (e.g. basic income) and nationalization of needed services +

beyond just health care and housing, stuff like Internet and Phone service should be publicly funded as well, and accessible to all without payment. Just like most roads and public libraries are.

Being Communist is a verb. Not a label your slap on yourself to be perceived as edgy and revolutionary. Communists should be doing communist shit. Like being part of a shared resources, shared responsibility community. *Build it and they will come.

Revolutions are made through the organization and discipline of the masses, i.e., the working class. And for have a revolutionary working class has to have "class consciousness " and not have "bourgeois consciousness" as many liberals have and That defend the capitalist system.
