I've been languishing in my comfort zone. Continuing to do so will have terrible effects for me. To quote Marx, I "[have] become a monster, a huge mass of flesh and fat, and [am] barely capable of walking any more." Ever since the pandemic started I've become a terminally online antisocial weirdo who barely ever leaves my room, let alone the house.

Of course, in addition to the damage this does to my personal life, it also makes me non - potentially even counter - revolutionary. As someone who wants to be a communist instead of just some internet poisoned middle class dilettante, I don't know how I can be expected to jeopardize the comfort of my parasitic labor aristocratic class position when I can't even get out of my comfort zone enough to go outside, eat real food, and do even the barest minimum of light exercise.

    Lol depression is not counter-revolutionary, don't worry. It's hard to not to apply our protestant work ethic to our revolutionary politics, but depression is caused by a whole load of different things, none of which can be solved by being pissed at yourself. We don't call people unable to fight in a revolution because they have a broken leg "counterrevolutionary" for the same reasons.
