Stop hating on white people. You are sowing division among the people who breathe air community. We should be working together against common enemies like cheeto man and Stalin. Not dividing the community with words like "racism" and "white privilege exists." We must stand united as a fandom. I mean community.

sometimes i get like 20 consecutive notifs and then remember that this account exists. hi

i see that you media addicted louts have filled your tomodachi life islands with video game and movie characters instead of great leftist thinkers

everything feels hopeless these days because of the rise of global Corporatist Techno-Feudal Fascism, we can't forget about caring for each other and ourselves

You have to put on your own oxygen mask before changing the world, to continue living in a hostile society is an act of rebellion

traditional activism feels too hollow and ableist so instead, build up your own community: spend money in your local businesses, buy more drugs, maybe even throw up a graffiti or shoplift necessities (only from big corporations!) to then distribute. use public libraries, help out in a community garden or join a queer group

the point is to do things! indulge yourself and reinterpret your pre-existing behaviors as revolutionary and real. nevermind an actually defined structure, that's Authority and we can't liberate ourselves with the tools of our oppressors. only through voluntarist activism, in which the same few people show up for a few years before burning out or being involved in some sort of abuse, can we do Good. in fact, just go ahead and throw all that activism in the backgrounds, it sometimes doesn't feel good, after all. Collective freedom is only the sum of all individual freedoms, so by looking only after your own comfortableness and without ever doing anything that feels Bad, we can all build a revolution and freedom

I think feeling entitled to working in a field that has little to no productive economic output (which is not to say "makes money" those are different things) is a follow-your-dreams ideology entitlement that is indicative of ideological bourgeois attitude.

I don't think you have a right to "make it" as a petit bourgeois vtuber or fanart trinket printer. If we are to follow "from each according to their ability, to each according to their need" the implicit understanding is that we make society together, collectively, and that the efficient and logical allocation of human economic resources also means that it is most desirable for the collective that we put our energy towards economic projects which collectively better humanity. for that reason, not every job has a justifiable existence, in the same way that "landlord" or "private health insurance company" don't have justifiable existences.

I can know from personal experience the unsustainable enterprise of doing something like, say, writing poetry, which has never paid my bills at all despite me being relatively successful with it and having two full books out. I don't feel entitled to writing poetry as my full-time job. we can't all be dreamers, or poets, or novelists, or whatever. at least, not necessarily as a career path for our livelihoods. society needs sanitation workers. it needs agricultural workers. it needs industrial workers. these things may not be glamorous but they provide for the very real material needs for the sustainable existence of humanity as a whole, and if we are to advocate for a socialist future, we must understand how to effectively and thoughtfully design the economy of that society.

a thoughtfully designed economy is not necessarily one where "everyone gets to follow their dreams," if those dreams do not sustainably afford valuable economic output. we are not yet in a post-scarcity world. as such, we must engage with the economic realities implicit to a world with scarcity. the attitude of "I should be able to pursue my dreams doing whatever I desire" is one which has embedded concerns which are characteristic of ideologically bourgeois entitlement. this is what I mean when I consider something to be "Follow-your-dreams ideology"

you see so much in the UK that the people who are most motivated in the communist movement get driven away from marxist parties by regressive attitudes within them. the two most notable ML parties in the UK are virulently transphobic and politely transphobic in turn. a quicky growing Maoist party collapsed entirely the other year after suppressing complaints of racism (amongst other factors.) anecdotally, I've also heard from women who left an ML party after always being given cleanup duty after meetings and being subjected to other constant low level sexism

uplifting the most oppressed within the movement isn't a distraction from "the real work" of the communist movement, it's an essential part of keeping oppressed groups active within it. if you think you can build the movement with only the least oppressed workers, and the handful of racialised, queer, women, and disabled people who can stomach constant prejudice, you're already sabotaging yourself before you've begun. the struggle for revolution doesn't only happen during revolutionary moments, where the mass of people is so dissatisfied that they revolt and the state's usual methods of governance have failed. the overwhelming majority of revolutionary struggle happens in the years, or decades, leading up to that, where we slowly and steadily build the leadership infrastructure, educate the proletariat, and sabotage the state where we can. when you ignore chauvinism within the party, you're hobbling your ability to operate through 99 percent of the revolutionary process

Politically engaged people in third world countries are always like

"I hate the west. The west is evil. The west is imperialist. The west is evil and imperialist and I hate it. I want to move there. Let me in. Let me in right now I want to move to your country, let me in--"

leviathan-supersystem

what's crazy is that usually when people use these sort of ""if the west is so bad why do people want to move there? 😏" talking points, they'll be seemingly unaware of what people's main critiques of the west even are, but like, you don't have that excuse because you're specifically bringing up imperialism.

like surely you can connect some dots here. if someone's main problem with the west is that the west keeps dropping bombs on their country, where is the place they could move where they could most effectively avoid having bombs dropped on them and even put pressure on western governments to stop dropping bombs on their country?

i know you can figure this one out if you really put your thinking cap on. I believe in you.

leviathan-supersystem

if you look in the notes you can see that the person op was talking about is Vietnamese. fucking lol. gee, why might a Vietnamese person dislike the west lmao.

also no, it's not true that "any outspoken political speech would get her labeled a reactionary"- there were massive protests in Vietnam against the proposed special economic zones in 2018, and the government response was for the house speaker to say they "appreciate the people's patriotism and their profound concerns about important issues" and then eventually to acquiesce to the protesters demands.

insofar as speech is ever prosecuted in Vietnam, this is under slander and libel laws, and of course there's no shortage of politically questionable uses of slander and libel laws in the west as well.
