    Every one of them believes they will be part of the party elite planning committees in the glorious new society. In reality they will all be the garbage collectors and bread line clerks.

    The fact that this is coming from a conservative without any hint of irony or self reflection is just goddamn perfect.

    Edit: Just to clarify, I am in no way trying to disparage garbage collectors or bread line clerks, I have nothing but respect for our comrades out there doing the necessary works. I'm just trying to highlight the absurdity of this person being a conservative, someone who thinks they'll be welcomed as part of the ruling master race, when in reality they would most likely be down in the completely unregulated and OSHA-free mine shafts as a slave to the ruling class with the rest of us.

      "They will do socially necessary work like garbage removal and food distribution"

      The horror

        They've been force fed the whole "if you ain't first you're last" philosophy for their entire lives to where it must apply to every aspect of life. It has become impossible for them to imagine a life where you can be satisfied without excess.

          The fact that they think we all want to be communist central committee people is funny and telling. Most of us here just want to work with less exploitation and eventually came to understand Marxism as the only effective means to those ends.

          This irony was the inspiration for my username. I'm sure its lost on most libs and chuds tho.

      Really good at telling on themselves, aren't they

      I don't give half a shit if I'm a part of any committee, I just want people to not die of easily preventable causes when the solutions have been artificially walled off

      But these dipshits are always like 'hurr durr breadline, hurr durr garbageman'

      Then again, no one intelligent is conservative these days unless they're grifting, so I guess we should be impressed they can operate a computer

        Meanwhile in capitalism we have joblines, and most people get told "no" because the employer's a pig-headed dipshit.

        Nah, plenty of bright people out there who don't really give a shit about others. Plenty of libs like that, too.

          I would say emotional intelligence is far more important than any other kind though. If you can't work with other people, it doesn't matter how "smart" you are.

      What's so bad about being a bread line clerk? I'd totally do that as long as I got a living wage. That thing fast food workers in free-market paradises don't get.

      I unironically would love to work in garbage disposal. Maybe cleaning sidewalks from stray trash, or the city canals from the trash, or in a recycling plant. I never saw such a job offer within a fine distance - they're always super far. :(

        I was on the list to do garbage truck driver training when I got hired at my current job. It's unionized in most places, and pays more than being a teacher while not saddling you with a ton of debt. No wonder certain managerial types hate them and think they're a "bad end".

      They do believe this, sort of. They can't imagine someone trying to build a better society for all because they would never do that themselves. So they assume the only reason anyone could ever be a communist is so they can make their way up the corporate ladder and "be the boss"
