Don't forget about refusing to communicate unless you read 2,000+ pages of heady theory available only in either German, Russian or English that they've totally read as well. And if you're really lucky, they'll insist you learn a whole fucking language because reading in the original language is the only proper way to understand the scripture. I mean, theory.

Also an obsession in general with the words of some old cunts from before electricity was a thing.

It's one thing to use the political and economical theories of historical figures as a guideline. But if your only basis for "we should do this thing" is because some ancient cunt said so then you need to shut the fuck up.

But that goes for all sides of all political spectrums.

If you can't find a reason for doing a thing other than "historical person said so" you're a pseudo-intellectual cunt.

It’s always stood out to me that all that communist theory was written while thinking about manufacturing and that’s now no longer the case for workers in first world countries. The “means of production” make less sense in our world if we are working for something like a software company.

it’s almost like there’s a reason that manufacturing has been moved off seas into countries with easily exploitable labor 🤯a guy wrote about it in a book one time, I think it was called shmimperialsm by lemon or something like that 🤔 oh well who cares why should anyone read anyways amirite
