Saw another post about this post pusch period being a good time to spread some of that sweet class consciousness to the confused and frightened libs in our lives. What’s your best metaphor to explain class struggle and why it must be undertaken by all of us?

I wrote a long effort-post in c:writing on an analogy I felt was pretty good: untying a hose in a dark room to get a drink of water. You can read all of it here:

Part 3 https://hexbear.net/post/68742

Let me know if you have an even better one or if you have critiques on mine. Hope to hear some good stuff! Keep pushing those libs in your life till it’s nothing but comrades. o7

Edit: I feel I have been playing fast and lose with the difference between metaphor and analogy, and that, is pretty cringe. Self cancelling immediately.

    I like where you’re heads at. It’s fascinating the way in which we are surrounded by microcosms of the greater struggle the working people of the world are trying to engage in. I think if you told both of those as two parallel hypothetical narratives that could really bring the metaphor to life.
