Porn is art too, photography is a form of art. It’s the type of art and what purpose it serves. I’ll kindly ask you check the community we are currently in and compare it to the list you’ve compiled. So long as leftists choose self indulgence over social activities based within the material reality we will not get very far.
Stop catastrophizing things. Infantile interests are not all interests, not even close to the majority. I am using the term scientifically as this is a serious space for serious conversations, or at the least I am a serious person. This does not mean I would refer to this in a recruiting environment as such. You misunderstand again thinking I am an all work and no play kind of comrade, or that I have no interests outside of politics or that this is my expectation for others. Some activities are not beneficial or outright harmful for socialist development of comrades, these are some of those imo. Porn is another, drugs are a third. I have said nothing of poetry, archery, singing, art, basketball, etc…
I just don’t see the value in catgirls. When it comes to brocialists (socially conservative leftists), which I believe you are conflating with nazbols (fascists who LARP as socialists to amplify their message by bringing to it a veil of legitimacy), the point of unity is class membership, it’s the 1 thing which connects all workers no matter our differences. Posting more catgirls (not in catgirl communities) and other examples simply outlines our differences more. The distinction between brocialists and modern Marxism members must be based on class and not social stances. One does not attempt to recruit a pro-LGBT billionaire towards Marxism as we recognize it as a waste of time, their class interests contradict the goals of Marxism. The same follows all ideologies our class has stumbled into. (except nazism, this is the outlier)
As far as all infantilized content (anime, furries, etc…), I view it as utopian. Understand this cutesy fluffy content is being generated within the context of outright vicious class war. And as such, it can only serve to disarm or hinder the orientation of our class at addressing this. We are not on cloud 9, we are in war. Believing otherwise is the equivalent of religion under feudalism - a new mental and social opioid of the masses. The difference between cat videos and shooting heroin is heroin is a lifestyle, a habit-forming flow of the day altering metaphorical cage which prevent the worker from toiling, reflecting, radicalizing, socializing, and coagulating. All in all, we’re just not having a fun time and pretending otherwise is simply lying to yourself.
As per the drugs conversation (which demonstrated the necessity of this disclaimer of sorts), I don’t advocate for shunning those who partake, but not advocate for these things ourselves and work to help our comrades to realign themselves with material reality.
I must say reading history it is apparently clear, there has never been such a time of so many idealistic thoughts, concepts, and movements since the time of peak religion.
CPUSA is explicitly named. Any other org would indeed be covered under colour of law (this law specifically) however it would require a court case to resolve such an invocation of colour of law which is always a gamble.
Depending on how much constitution ours have in OK, challenging such a movement not explicitly named in the referenced law in a court of law could end very badly for the prosecution. However, considering if our efforts were so substantial in OK I would not have to question the constitution of it would I?
Aside from being a gamble, all one has to do is consult law-practicing comrades to create a play list of legal foot dragging to be utilized in each and every single case so as to cost the state as much time and effort as possible challenging every single group from the PSL to the ABCDEFG. Until neoliberalism falls, money is no object to the regime, however this would create publicity for all of the left movements involved, which gives birth to more continuity, as well it would take up space in the legal process which could be used to fuck over our class.
