tankies will never stop fucking complaining; don't they realise that letting vampires feed on babies means that there's less adults for vampires to feed on? not that those tankies care. we always have to be the grown ups in the room

Why Women Have Better Sex Under Socialism
how long ago was last year again
this is sooooooooooo bad i hope anyone who looks at this reads the 10 billion comments explaining why
my politics evolved while listening to WTYP backlog (i started when they were at like episode 50) and by the time i caught up i was thoroughly disgusted at how much it declined and how surface level their communist ideals are. particularly alice. holy fuck. at least Liam doesn't pretend to be this all-knowing political wunderkind
some of them are just obscure and i only heard of their artists and that they were a big thing (big enough to be suppressed and harassed) from this book "The Folk Singers and the Bureau" and others arent quite labor/communist songs but i just think are neat like "The Dying Cowboy" and "Farewell Angelina" theyre absolute heart-renders. some are only on there because theyre a bit different but i wouldnt call them good and they only barely fit the style like "Coal Miner's Daughter" by far my least fav
shouldve said minor ideological differences :P
but anyway i call myself a communist that can see extreme value in Leninism, Maoism and any other theory written by communists in the actual struggle and this is what it gives me

firstly for any non-Hexbearians: fuck this. we were never ideologically shut in, we just accurately realised that theres no point having major sectarianism and screaming at eachother in our forum over minor differences at this stage, as it should be when we've all ruthlessly criticised the preconceived ideas of the societies most of us have grown up in. noone who stuck around was a halfwitted and properly ideologically shut in liberal or someone who was kidding themselves about being centrist. we didnt let these kind of people pretend they were right or had something valuable in their theoretical outlook on politics, because they/you really probably don't. if you want to talk about some other specialisation you have or a unique outlook on other things, sure, maybe. politics? philosophical conception of how the world currently is and what the issues are and what might fix them? unless it's some type of socialism, none of us give a single fuck
anyway thinking of anything in the line of "authoritarian" as a descriptor is accurate means you've already lost some communist cred. authoritarianism is made up. noone is truly free in any ideological manifestation of society. it's simply different levels of coercion. and communism, with its ideals met, is the least coercive system of societal organisation. on the way there will always be practical issues as every AES state has found, with the USSR, NK, Cuba and China for example navigating a siege-like global terrain and implementing cultural change in different ways that have ALL lead so far to the people's general livelihood improved from what it was before communism. that is absolutely undebatable. under capitialism each of these countries would have had near zero development and their people would still be generally impoverished rather than a steadily developing wellbeing slowly emerging under, again, siege-like global conditions
