Hi. I’m effervescent and I would likely have my quality of life access to luxury goods reduced under global communism. Worth. Very worth.
Doubly so considering global warming is about to fuck up this whole “fresh bananas in February” horse shit. Also, leave it to sectarian redditors to ruin something as cool as theory earnings.
Yeah, as much as I dislike Mark Fisher's essay "Exiting the Vampires Castle", a lot of the western/imperial core left have essentially constructed themselves in one. That is to say, making themselves look like the biggest victims of global capitalism, despite being quite privileged when compared to those in the global south, while at the same time refusing to extend solidarity to those in the global south, dismissing all our movements as "opportunistic" or "tankiesm".
That is not to say that capitalists don't exploit people to an absurd degree within the core, they absolutely do, but two things can be true at the same time without being contradictory.

This, but also those contradictions can be blamed on things other than the individuals experiencing them. Like it is genuinely a contradiction that capitalist exploitation is supposed to maximized, but is also unevenly distributed amongst the workers. It would be great to just say “solidarity” and then follow through without that being contingent on an assumed hierarchy of oppression. I’ve actually been trying to get my mutual aid group to donate to the Zapatistas and various water protector groups, but people are worried about getting slammed with charges of these groups every get classified by the feds.
For real. I originally wrote “quality of life” and then realized how depressed and alienated I am under capitalism. Like nah, I’m just not gonna be able to get coffee all the time. I can live with that

Living in a yurt would be a quality of life improvement if that yurt didn't have a landlord.
