Really funny how so many self-styled communists here seem to have no actual community around them.

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.

Can you explain what you mean? I think that my not having a lot of community is related to not having a lot of strong friendships, and I'm not sure what it would look like to have a community but no friends. It seems weird to mock people for not having a community tbh

I am subtweeting the fuck out of dirtbag tankies who do nothing, contribute nothing, and have no praxis except for dusty books and shit talking marginalized people on twitter who actually do things

But equally hard to build, honestly. Or maybe that's just me and preferring to hang with sheep. Glib quips about my misanthropy aside, I do find it interesting that my friends and my community only lightly intersect, residentially speaking.

Definitely! But I am given to a bit of wariness when twitter types mistake theory-reading for community-building, and blame the lack of the latter on the difficulty they have making friends. These are both hard things, but for not the same reason.

...I make the book club Socialists mad a lot because at this point I refuse to read Marx as a point of pride. 90% praxis, 10% reading Subcomandante Marcos on building the EZLN.

And what about people who are anarchists that exist in a society, amirite people? I'll be here all week.
