In 2016, Bernie Sanders really fucked up a whole generation of young kids with his champagne socialism and tooth fairy politics. I have friends that are very intelligent and they fell for it. It's always funny seeing these mall socialists like the tranchers chimp on twitter endlessly about how capitalism bad socialism good. It's woefully obvious that they don't even know the first fucking thing about communism. Kevin wouldn't know communism if it smacked him upside the head and forced him to work the fields at gunpoint.
I have a cynical streak inside me that often wishes that these mall socialists and BLM/ACAB simpletons would get what they want, like old-school communism or no more cops. They'd literally be wiped out within one generation. Sadly, I'll have to settle for watching Kevin buy cheap plastic shit off amazon while hating Jeff Bezos and praising communism while not putting in one lick of work at the tranch.
Seriously, has Kevin worked one goddamn minute in the last 5 years? Has he spent one shred of time at the Tranch not being a complete and utter drain on resources? He would 100% be first to go under real communism. They'd empty his bank account/inheritance then chop him up and use him for alpaca feed.
Digging into Bernie's past gets really hilarious, actually, because you get into things like how he got kicked out of the commune in Israel he went to.
The tl;dr? He expected that he would get to sit around and...um...think deep thoughts, and everybody would be okay with him not helping with the work.
Remind you of somebody? Aside from the fact that, well, the distinct difference in the tolerance their respective communes had for their shit...
But I'm going to disagree with you on them not knowing the first fucking thing about communism. They're pretty standard for communist revolutionaries, which is why I
will agree that yeah, real communism hasn't been tried yet. The workers never actually get to be in charge--which, admittedly, is not necessarily the worst idea from the perspective of the people leading it. There's always been this
inherent belief in Marxism that the workers are...well...too stupid to actually know what's best for them; when you get down to it, as an ideology it's like putting a wig, makeup, and dress on a
really large boar & insisting this is a lovely (human) woman and a smol bean of one. Except in this case, the boar is feudalism and the 'lovely (human) woman' is 'workers paradise.'
Kevkev can't tell the difference! <3 On either, probably.
