    All politics is, after all, sexual pathology.

    Dating communists is great because instead of long slow breakups where the passion slowly dies you end up screaming at each other in a wallmart at 2am about whether Zhou Enlai was a revisionist until you both walk away in disgust, firm in your commitment that you never want to see each other again.

      kind of funny story about a girl i was chatting with and then broke up with who was the literal embodiment of the no theory radlib

      can confirm, i briefly sort of dated a weird anarchist who never read theory and exclusively learnt it fourth hand from an anarchist she knew who only learnt from reddit threads about breadtube personalities. we broke up because i called some self described "post-leftist egoist super anarchist" a fascist sympathiser for calling me an "authoritarian coercer" for saying that hate speech laws were good and that i supported the (at the time only proposed) scottish hate speech law that would define misgendering with the intent to cause distress as hate speech because the egoist started asking if she said the n word would i try to have her sent to a gulag and killed (fidel-si ). anyway anarchist girl saw this and called me a red fascist who wanted a totalitarian dictatorship to end free speech (fidel-si), and also said that the nuremberg trials were authoritarian for some reason.

        said that the nuremberg trials were authoritarian.

        :wut:

        I wish there was a easier way to distinguish between anarchists who actually understand anarchist theory and have a theory of revolution and "anarchists".

          I wish this but for everyone that calls themselves some flavor of socialist

        Whenever someone asks me IRL if I've heard of xyz leftist youtuber or podcaster or subreddit, I just say no.

    I joined a communist party over DSA because it's easier to work towards world communism than it is getting laid without being a creepy political wonk

      No, yesterday was about the specific bit of theory AcidLeaves chooses to read to attract socialist girls.
