People claim that i cannot be communist because my family is wealthy. This argument is just stupid in many ways, its as if you told a white person he cannot be against racism because he is part of a more privileged group. The people argumenting this pile of diarrhea which they interpret as a "gotcha" moment also seem to forget that a lot of revolutionaries were from wealthy families like Friedrich Engels, Che Guevara, Fidel Castro, Marx etc. Being communist has nothing to do with your class-background but your solidarity and the willingness to commit yourself to the liberation of the working class. Having petit-bourgeois, or even bourgeois parents does not make one hypocrit, you are a hypocrit the moment you exploit workers yourself. I myself met a lot of fake-intellectuals who made this argument which made me, as a baby leftist at that time, feel really insecure about the ideas i hold but at the end no true communist cares about wealth, power, luxury or anything as such. If somebody made me the offer that if i had to live the rest in my life in a small, cold, concrede apartment with no kithcen, bedroom or toilet in return all the people would be supplied with food, clothing and shelter...i wouldnt take a second to aggree.

    beliefs do make you a communist, are disabled people not communist because they are unable to physically organize? lmao

    i know one such person like this myself, she's physically disabled but is still 100% communist even if she cant physically organize all that well.

    now obviously this changes if you ARE able-bodied and able to stuff but simply choose not to, but my point still stands

    someone who is truly a communist and also able-bodied will want to physically take action anyways

      This literally describes me. I cannot in good faith call myself a communist.

        disabilities can be mental or you may not be in a good financial situation to do much etc, just do what you can in your current situatuon
