You can't demand systemic change, greater distribution of wealth and the liberation of workers from the ownership class if you have a house. If you have a house then those things are not possible. Having a house invalidates your participation in a society and any critiques of the economy.

The reason the soviets lost is because they had houses. Having a house is active participation in capitalism. Houses did not exist before and they will not exist after. So the only reasonable way to be a socialist is to sell your house. Then make a little house out of the money and sell that. All the way down until you have nothing left and then you will be halfway on your way to being a socialist but not until you sell your phone.. let me explain.

    If you're not wearing a barrel with suspenders, you're participating too much in Capitalism to be a true leftist.

      Oh man the other day I saw a heated debate on Twitter end with the comment: "The fact you are alive is basically evidence you are nothing but a LARPer. Just shut the fuck up and overthrow the USA I'm waiting." If you're still alive you aren't a true leftist.

          Oh, nah, the other person was being pretty extreme ("you're a coward if you aren't active enough to be on the CIA's hitlist, you are letting your tax dollars be used to murder people in the global south") lmao. I just thought it's a funny takedown.

          I don't think either person in the argument was a lib haha. It was about whether it's ok for AOC to write about Black Panthers doing food drives (so white people start thinking about them more positively) without mentioning that they were radical communists in an instagram post. Even if her turning full radical means being ostracised and/or murdered by the CIA. Lbr the only people who have struggle sessions over instagram posts that end with someone saying "if u haven't been shot dead by the CIA already ur a lib" are commies lmao

      Barrels would not exist without capitalism. Milton Friedman told me so.

      Return To Monke or you are capitalism.
