I am including myself in this. Communism is an ideal we are striving towards. It is possible but we were all raised by and in capitalism and we all know it fucking sucks and is evil and gross and smelly. We all have a lot to unpack and relearn about the world, other people, history, everything just about. So when I get corrected on here or someone disagrees with me I love it. It's a chance for me to learn or educate or just reach a mutual understanding of each others opinions.

Struggle sessions are good and the best praxis this site is doing. I have learnt so much from them and I hope the continue until I actually become a communist. If people leave because of them that is tough but I think the site is improving because of them. I think people should come here with an attitude that they want to learn and engage and try and grow not just be fed entertainment. I do enjoy the memes and the bits but it's not why I keep coming back here.

Thank you for listening to my HexTalk.

      Why exactly are you on this site then if you hate entertainment and discussion and learning? You hoping to recruit for some militia or crowdfund a commune? How do you picture this site material contributing to revolution?

      The outdoor cat stuggle session is pointless and it is obviously a meme at this point even. The Vegan stuggle session made a few people try it out so it was a material success. The ones about socialist states are always going to be constant as we get new members who need to unlearn some propaganda and try and get a more accrate picture of them. They have helped me learn to make better arguments in favour of them and understand them better from a materialist perspective rather then my knee jerk anarchist "states bad" reaction. You might not be taking anything on board but some of us are and appreciate this site for it.

      And arguments in general are irrelevant to actually important things

      That settles it then. Let's invade vuvuzela
