Like holy shit they're already starting to ban Marx in Florida and Ukraine is arresting communists. Fuck fuck fuck what do we do fuck.

It doesn't even matter to people that Russia hasn't been communist for 30 years, they're still going to use this as an excuse to come for even the mildest of leftists eventually.

This shit reaks of the rise of Hitler just before WW2. Except this time all of Nato is going full Nazi.

First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out— because I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

    Genuinely this all isn't as much as a surprise as it is a harsh check we've been served. Just holding left views makes you a target like every leftist before you. This is why mutual aid and solidarity is and has been so important. Stronger together and you cannot kill an idea, only suppress it.

    I really believe most people are not evil or bad, and there is a lot of misguided shit all around us. Gotta roll with the punches, and they connect hard sometimes
