Guys can I be a socialist if while also despising being around other people
Like I want the best for humanity and stuff but to be honest I’d rather live alone in a isolated area where I can play video games and jerk off all day
Idk being a communist usually means living communally n shit
>>811150>Idk being a communist usually means living communally n shitThats not at all ehat it means. Communism is not in conflict with individual freedom.
Nope. Socialism is a lifestyle. Until you shave your head off and change your name to Comrade you are not one of us.
What is it with leftcoms and misanthropy/social isolation
>>811155They are probably autistic and will take your reply unironically
You can be anything you want so long as you stay out of my way, pup. I'm out for blood. I'm the Revenger.
you could be a fucking serial killer and still a socialist. its just politics not a lifestyle
>>811160You're right. Andrei Chikatilo was a member of the Communist party and the Soviet Unions most infamous serial killer.
Thinking that being a communist, socialist or whatever is based on your beliefs and loyalties rather than your actions is a liberal understanding of ideology and identity.
You are the things that you do. If youre a self proclaimed socialist but none of your actions contribute towards socialism, then you are not a socialist. This isn't the same as saying its a lifestyle. Calling people comrade and wearing Che Guevara merch is just signalling.
>>811163Some people are simply sympathizers. AKA would do something if the situation presented itself or support a movement if it ever came into real existence. It doesnt make them any less of a communist. As long as you truly understand and believe in the ideas of communism you are a communist, though not a very useful one if you aren't putting in the work. As for lifestyles it literally doesn't matter as long as you aren't literally owning a warehouse and exploiting workers. Fascists police people's lives, communism is about creating a society where you can actually enjoy your chosen lifestyle because you aren't burdened by wage work and hierarchies.
you'd have to work, but you could do whatever job you wanted and wouldn't be limited by where you live or your social status
there are definitely some types of jobs that don't require much interaction with people
>>811163>You are the things that you dono, you're also the things you're likely to do in the future. would you kill an online socialist as a baby? much to ponder
>>811170>would you kill an online socialist as a baby?I would protect them and give them headpats :3
I too fucking despise our species and want nothing to do with it. I only lurk on left-wing spaces because they're at least educated and not dumb right wingers or fascists believing in race, nationality or some dumb shit like that. But i really want our species to go extinct and I have no intentions of making the world a better place. I don't know, maybe I am just mentally ill…
Our current era is far too obsessed about “socialization”
Everybody is guilt tripping/morally harassing kids into doing extracurricular activities.
Gone are the days of being allowed unadulterated me time without being lectured/patronized.
Recreation used to be about fun but now it’s about “enrichment” and “group bonding”
>>811194TRVTH HYDROGEN BOMB
Death to all forms of forced groups! Only loose associations based on furthering each others personal goals!
>>811170>would you kill an online socialist as a babyKilling anyone as a baby sounds challenging. You can barely lift your head, now you've gotta weild a weapon?
something to ponder
>>811207you literally cannot grow as a person without society. there is no such thing as a free individual. just like how you cant understand an author without understanding the society and context they lived in, humans cannot be viewed separately from society
>>811211Im not against society. Just forcefully putting people together. There's not a single place where people are forced to be together where there isn't bullying and unwritten hierarchies, schools,prisons,insane asylums,workplaces,youth camps,clubs,sororities,fraternities…you name it. Im for free association amongst individuals based on shared values and goals. I agree with you on socialization and growth but it can only happen consensually and organically, otherwise it just creates cruelty and abuse.
>>811229That chong jang guy looked a little too tan to have spent most of the last six months in his room. I bet they embellished things a bit.
>>811223This. Look at public schools for how socialization is done terribly wrong.
Most people don’t know this but the common forms of youth sociology in public schools isn’t normal
Natural youth sociology involves multi-age interaction and doing work projects.
And it involves going on free range adventures.
And interacting with adults a lot, without the typical authoritative power gap.
>>811254Most of our bullying and peer pressure is due to kids being packed into classrooms where it’s solely same-age with no contact with your juniors or elders, with no compatibility of interests or abilities.
>>811165>communism is about creating a society where you can actually enjoy your chosen lifestyle because you aren't burdened by wage work and hierarchies.What about public schooling?
>>811156Most of the misanthropy on here is due to not fitting in.
But there’s nothing wrong with wanting solitude
If anything, solitude is an underrated amenity
i mean yeah but if you desire to be an ultimately politically ineffectual shut-in, then why are you concerned with your politics, it's not like they're important to anyone
>>811553Then this imageboard should be shut down then. Most of the users on here have no interest in sociophysical interaction outside of trying to get laid. They only wanna theorise.
>>811565>Then this imageboard should be shut down then.why? i think if this place would to exist exclusively as a non-nazi alternative to the rest of the imageboards, it would still be a nice thing to have.
>>811608This place is rife with reactionary sentiment dressed up with “progressive” elements wdym?
Even here there are still discussions that prioritize casual sex on the same level as food, water, and shelter
>>811613would you rather online incels fester in more reactionary places where you'd be easily banned for going against the grain? genuine question
>>811627We already have that on here.
>>811608Leftypol isn’t the only non-nazi imageboard and even then, it’s not that good of a non-nazi imageboard
7chan is better
>>811650>7chan is betterin what way lol, it looks more barren than leftypol. it is nothing, it is a non-place.
