Communism is dead and died in 1922. The USSR basically became another imperialist bloc and then died, there is no relevant Marxist power on Earth, and the revolution hasn't happened after +150 years. Trade unions are pretty dead (not that they're progressive in the first world) and people join them for workers' rights without caring about internationalism or communism at all or because the industry itself is already unionised; hustle culture, part-time jobs, reverse army of labour, etc, means it's harder to unionise jobs. There isn't a righteous bloc between the first world or third world/BRICS/China, it's which favelas and former colonies are exploited by economic imbalance, colonial infrastructure, and the USD. I'm not sure how unequal exchange could be stopped without communism and it seems like a form of intersectionality so I'm not going to talk about it too much.
I feel like most people here have tacitly accepted that communism is dead and it's just band kids, or intellectuals, or nostalgia-boos. Endlessly regurgitating the same talking points and having literal near-zero impact. It's a glorified history club with some "happenings" about sectarian moralist garbage. Can anyone agree what communism is or what they want after le revolution? And why anyone would listen to Marx' and Bukharin's schizo-ramblings from over a century ago instead of doing something immediately useful like studying for something, or jerking off and playing video-games. I don't think you could scientifically prove Marx and Stirner (lol) btfod him anyways. Communists or Anarchists can't even take over a small island or a city or something. How many people have read Marx in full and how would you distil it without turning it into dogma or agitprop.
Anybody who is sort of successful and is absorbed by western media (which is 90% of the world) will be a liberal by default. Then alt-right/neo-nazis or religion captures other people because they're provocative and lean on perceived real life experiences and spirituality. There is no logistical reason why you couldn't implement communism tomorrow if you wiped every other ideology off the Earth, it's that aesthetics matter way more than "materialism" (Yes, I'm using the human nature argument.)
My point is I'm bored and I don't have anything to do or any meaning in my life.

Are you goin’ to let those sons-of-bitches walk all over you?
My friend said, “You’ll get fired hanging with that Commie mob.”
I should be so lucky, buddy, for I ain’t got a job.
Oh, you ain’t done nothing if you ain’t been called a Red.
If you’ve criticized anything, then you’re bound to hear it said.
So, you might as well ignore it or love the word instead
’Cause you ain’t been doing nothing if you ain’t been called a Red.
>>5063I believe you may actually may have depression, or nihilism. Fighting communism /anarchism /socialism is the most honorable and obvius thing to do with a litle bit of common sense.
“To defend the oppressed against their oppressors, to plead the cause of the weak against the strong who exploit and crush them, this is the duty of all hearts that have not been spoiled by egoism and corruption… It is so sweet to devote oneself to one’s fellows that I do not know how there can be so many unfortunates still without support or defenders. As for me, my life’s task will be to help those who suffer and to pursue through my avenging speech those who take pleasure in the pain of others. How happy I will be if my feeble efforts are crowned with success and if, at the price of my devotion and sacrifices, my reputation is not tarnished by the crimes of the oppressors I will fight.”
― Maximilien de Robespierre
You should not be controlled by feelings, specially if those feelings make you less human, less compassionate, less wiling to live and change the world. Those thoughts are not productive. Yes, socialism may not be close in your country, so what? Socialism worked, workes and will work, you should not support a system that perpetuates genocide and inequality, slavery and poverty in the whole world.
“Many of us like to ask ourselves, ‘What would I do if I was alive during slavery? Or the Jim Crow South? Or apartheid? What would I do if my country was committing genocide?’” … “The answer is, you’re doing it. Right now.” Rest in power, Aaron Bushnell
>>5069That's the exact reason.
>>5070>Genocide, inequality, slavery and poverty is bad because… uhh… IT JUST IS OK?????If it isn't based on feelings then what is anything based of and why should it matter? The closed socialism has been to working irl is dirigisme.
>>5080Ok, you're being pedantic. It's like saying why so-called God can't move an immovable object. I guess I left myself open by making that claim.
