Shit sucks and is bad for the brain
Great post, agree 100%. Getting emotional about these kind of things gives the impression you’re under threat, like you’re not confident you can defend your own position.
Being a communist in an age where capital is setting the Earth on fire is a very easy-to-defend position, people defending the status quo should be on their back heels not us.

Live and breathe this mentality. It’s true, and a lot of them know it.
There’s a great quote from Dmitri Lascaris, in a response to a self-identified centrist he was debating:
“In my opinion we have to stop talking about persons defending the status quo as moderate, if you have a status quo that is leading you towards extinction ultimately, that’s extremism. The people who are the true moderates in this race are those who calling upon this country and this party to take the steps necessary to deal with a fundamentally flawed economic system that is leading us down the path of climate crisis”
