You don’t need to go shouting it, but if someone starts talking politics at you, fucking own it. Some coworker is like “trump sucks”, say “yeah I know, I’m a communist”. Your grandpa says “trump rules”, say “no he sucks ass, I’m a communist”. You’re on a date and they ask who you’re voting for? Say “I’m a communist”. Cashier asks would you like change? “Yes, I am a communist”.
Be open about your politics and lay claim to the title. Be a communist.
Fuck you, the way everyone is so hyper-critical online has been so annoying to me lately. Every single earnest post attracts a swarm of intellectuals ready to condescend. The reality is though, marxist-sandersism, or whatever I’m describing that you’re laughing at, is not a laughably shitty explanation, you’re just being a dick. What would you say to the coworker after they accuse you of supporting Stalin? Say yes he’s le epic and based? Yeah that’d be very normal and not laughably awkward in reality. Yes this was a wild overreaction but like I said I’m sick of everyone just cumming themselves at how clever they are for cringing and loling at everything earnest
