Communists are against consumerism and luxury production as a general rule, on this site alone there’s a lot of mocking of treats, society needs bread but does it need circuses? At what point is asceticism good and when is it reactionary?

    What if being a carny was dignified? Only under communism lads, doing it for the love and not for the money. An artist of fun.

        "Carny" is short for "carnival worker", so someone who works the rides or the games at a carnival, especially when it's a traveling carnival as opposed to like Disneyland.

        Here's a great parody of American traveling carneys in action: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wh-43YBGgpc
