I support you in your fight against toxic masculinity, and in your exploration and expression of an authentic masculinity.
I reject second-wave feminism blaming each individual man/masc-aligned person for the consequences of patriarchy, thus obscuring its systemic nature while denying us effective weapons to combat it.
I’m proud of you for the work you’ve already done on yourselves and in your communities. Each and every one of you has what it takes to overcome reactionary impulses, to love yourselves and your comrades, and to be a part of our inevitable global communism.
I salute you, masc-aligned comrades.
I salute you, men of the left.
Despite the many "be better" posts/comments I've made, I'd still rather be posting here than anywhere else on the internet. You guys are pretty cool.
Just always try to be a better you. Never be complacent. Love the you that you're always becoming because you'll never stop changing and growing in life. :arm-L: :soviet-huff: :arm-R:
:geordi-yes: be better posts
:geordi-no: men can’t be better posts
:soviet-heart:
My best friends and I regularly tell each other we love each other because it's cool to love your homies/comrades.
That's really sweet. My pals from ye olden times are so much more open about just saying very nice things like that. It's so liberating.
Was looking for a propaganda song that was this quote but came up dry. My mind instantly starts playing this song though: https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1vJ411x7Rx

The cool dudes want to smash the patriarchy and all other systems of oppression
Thanks comrade. The men and masc posters here still have plenty of issues, with ingrained sexism and toxic masculinity, but I hope that at least a few will learn and grow beyond those things
Trying to de-program can be tough. Thanks for noticing!
I recommend every man here who is a comrade to check out bell hooks The Will to Change: it is very good and written for men. And not too long either. Very digestible. I need to go re-read it again actually.
:bell-hooks:
This is really good, thanks for posting!
Only made it through 1.5 chapters so far, but the critique laid out of what I'll call zero-sum feminism is helpful.
:fidel-salute: for all the comrades who've deprogrammed themselves from masculinty brainworms in the most propagandized country on earth
Thank you, I've been trying to do serious self improvement this year!
