I was mentioning the cuban cigar I got the other day at a cigar bar and he said he didn't want "communism in his mouth" and "Cuba could be such a great country for hotels and factories making rum and cigars"
was too fucking real

      I keep my politics on the dl for the most part. There's two other leftists there that I'll chat. The one is an anarchist who despises anything ML - though he quotes Marx verbatim - and the other says he's a Marxist-with-no-adjectives but seems to just be a progressive? Both are extremely haughty and the conversations are very one sided.

          yeah my leftism is extremely online. I don't think the Marxist is though cause he never heard of Posadism when I showed him my I Want To Believe book. Anarchist seemed to like Reddit though.

            If your anarchist coworker really despises anything ML, then he's probably never organized a day in his life. Definitely a "reddit" anarchist.

              he's in an org but I don't think he's reached out to local orgs quite yet. he's been extremely concerned with covid
