Why do almost all modern "communist" party members look like 'that'.
I sound like a conservative here but all communists nowadays look fat and uncared for. Aren't ML parties supposed to prepare a vanguard for the revolution? If so why do most ML parties have members like slobs? Every time I look at my local communist org I get repulsed and honestly, if I weren't a communist myself, I would never take them seriously.
What is the solution to this degeneracy?
>pic kind of related
there’s a bunch of healthy good looking skinny men at my org, although some of the trans ones don’t look so great sadly
Politics doesn't really attract chads in general. The only good looking political figures I can even think of are jfk and gavin newsom
>>2853462>Politics doesn't really attract chads in general.What’s interesting is that it used to, but not anymore for some reason.
Stalin mogs Putin and JFK mogs trump for example.
>>2853449>I sound like a conservative here but all communists nowadays look fat and uncared for.Idk. What a lot of socialist groups have going for them in "looks" is the fact that a lot of them are in their twenties and thirties, and younger people just look better as a general rule. It's only young people who don't know this because they tend to be more insecure as well. Extreme example but Elliot Rodger was a good-looking guy, but he was like oh God I'm a freak and will never score, billions must die.
>pic kind of relatedFunny you mention that because the stereotype of a Soviet official in the 1970s was like a beetle-browed fat guy in a suit made out of carpet being like "ze party told us to say this."
>>2853466>Stalin mogs Putin and JFK mogs trump for example.Young Stalin obviously but they airbrushed older Stalin's pics because he was a short Mario-looking guy with pockmarks and a gimpy arm from getting run over by a stagecoach when he was a kid. Also his teeth were pretty grody looking but it was the Soviet Union in the 1930s, we can't all be movie stars.
>>2853472>What a lot of socialist groups have going for them in "looks" is the fact that a lot of them are in their twenties and thirtiesMost communists (and democratic socialists if I may) on the west are young, at least the ones I've meet and honestly they don't look good at all and are insecure. The overall problem here is that all the young communists go to organizations that don't make them work for the cause and only get money from their members to make their shitty newspapers. That's why reactionary groups like Patriot Front are so popular among young people, they do stuff, they work out and have an active community outside political actions. The org should be the development of a young person ideologically, physically and mentally.

>>2853472>they airbrushed older Stalin's picsProof?
>>2853470>All communist men should wear suits or at least something semi-professional (avoid larpy stuff like mao suits lol).It's situational. I think people should try to adapt to their environment, like fishes in the sea, and blend in with the masses a bit so you can better gain their trust. If you look too different from the masses then they won't trust you as easily. I can only speak to the U.S., but politicians wear suits and voters expect them too (the one who doesn't is John Fetterman and look at him, he's a mental patient who is going to get primaried), so socialists running for office are obviously going to do that. Lenin also dressed as a politician would in his own time. But that's not what people will wear (for the most part) while knocking on doors in an American city, people will think you're a member of a religious cult. It's not what workers will wear when going on strike unless they're lawyers or bankers. Really the effect you will get is a bunch of 20-year-olds wearing suits and it'll just look off. You end up looking like the one guy who wears a suit and brings a briefcase to class when nobody else does, it's a little bit autistic becaue that guy doesn't understand social situations. You also wouldn't wear a suit while mowing the lawn, would you?
BTW it's funny that Hasan has started wearing suits (his Mao suit was larpy of course) because he's a public figure who is playing more of a role in electoral politics now, but he still has his studio decorated in streamer kitsch. I saw that and thought there was a discordance there. He'll probably gradually reduce the amount of knick-knacks on his shelf.
>>2853480>That's why reactionary groups like Patriot Front are so popular among young people, they do stuff, they work out and have an active community outside political actions. I don't think they're popular at all but they have a cult following in the white nationalist scene, and physical fitness is a priority in that world, for sure. Issue there is that by design it's not a mass organization and cannot be. Like the leader Thomas keeps an Excel spreadsheet with the height/weight of his members and tracks them so they look right, apparently according to one of the leaks on that organization. Groups like that have an ideal Aryan Superman sort of ideology and it doesn't look right if people don't look like that.
>>2853449Communism only attracts fringe losers right now because it's a fringe political position in the West. I'm hopeful that Communist politics will return with the rise of AI and the improvement in labor productivity but we'll see.
>>2853470Pls write a essay about fashion
Because radical politics in 2026 will mostly attract loosers or people with personality disorder, both of which correlates with being uglier than average.
But with far leftists there is often a really weird patholic pseudo-queer mindset where having any aesthetic standard is…. le fascism… so you have to let people dress like retarded slobs and ugly fruitcakes or else youre a "bootlicker" and trying to be "one of the good ones" (?).
That said looking like shit is solidly bipartisan in practice, it's just leftists will try to rationalise why that's a good thing which is inherently self defeating.
>>2853462JFK was really sick all the time, people don't remember that about him because he got shot
>>2853480> reactionary groups like Patriot Front are so popular among young peopleare they tho
>>2853598I think he's hallucinating
>>2853449A Real Communist (Marxist-Leninist-Maoist) Party will have extremely strict Aesthetic standards, that all members must follow or be expelled/purged, these include all members (both Male and Female) wearing Mao suits, with all other reactionary clothing banned (If you don’t show up to the Communist Party meeting in a Mao suit you will not be let through the door), all Women members forced to have extremely Short Hair (Pixie cut or shorter, with a shaved head being the most Historically Progressive), with all Women that join the Communist Party with Hair longer then a Pixie cut getting their Hair chopped/shaved off by a Female comrade during their first Communist Party meeting, and every time they attend a Communist Party meeting their comrades will make sure their Hair is not longer then a Pixie cut or one of their female comrades will cut/shave it off on the spot in order to make sure no female Communist party members are infected by the Bourgeois Femininity symbolized by Hair longer then a Pixie cut, finally all Communist Party members will be forced to follow a strict vegan, vegetarian, or pescatarian (I am a pescatarian) diet, with no Communist Party member allowed to consume Red Meat, Fried food, GMOs, Corn Syrup, Trans Fats, High Sodium food, Artificial Preservatives, etc. in order to make sure every Comrade is as healthy as possible, and anybody who eats these prohibited foods and gets Fat will be expelled/purged from the Communist Party, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🚀☢️ 💇♀️👩🦲!
>>2853490This guy isn't even a Communist
>>2853562Substack reads: "Virgil Abloh's Modernism"
>>2853790good chance of that or he follows leftypol/leftypol adjacent accounts on twitter
>>2853449Least of our problems when proletarians ask why "socialism failed" in the USSR.
>omg fellow commies, does anyone else think we're all fat and ugly teehee. why don't we all wear suits and rant about degeneracy
