The new WVU budget slashes nearly 10 percent of majors and 7 percent of all faculty—but students and staff aren't going down without a fight.

    Why would I want to destroy communism? It doesn’t really exist outside of a few extremely isolated communities. I’m trying to make it a global thing!

        Ah, okay, capitalism. I can’t doxx myself because that’s fed shit, but the thousands of comments I’ve made on this subject on hexbear should strongly suggest that I am quite dedicated to the destruction of capitalism. Do you even believe that destroying capitalism is possible or desirable?

          Sorry, can’t tell ya all the people I’ve killed, cause that’s fed shit. 🙄 Real convincing.

          Do I think it’s possible to destroy capitalism entirely? No. People don’t give up power and property. Also, humans are greedy and corrupt—but that’s a different topic.

          Do I think we can get to the point where there is significantly less suffering and class gap? I think it’s possible.

                You can disguise your actual identity with whatever words you like, but excusing capitalism is liberalism.

                  I never said I excused it. I’m just not deluded enough to think that people, as a whole, WILL actually change even if I want them too. And I don’t go around pretending I’m a badass fighting capitalism, when all I do is shitpost in my echo chamber and lump people into two categories: good and bad.

                  But, you keep fighting the good fight, my keyboard warrior comrade. Eventually those memes will capture the youth and pretty soon we will all be communists.

                    I’m not excusing it. I’m just saying that destroying it is impossible. See the difference? /s

                    Do you think that feudal lords thought it was possible (in the 1500s, say) that capitalism would destroy them and take over the world?
