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.

    This is why I hesitate to give myself a label beyond anti-capitalist and anti-imperialist (but if pushed, I'll call myself a Marxist. which you're right, I'm prob not really one).

      This is the correct line. Given the current state of the left in the west the idea of being Team Lenin or Team Deng or whatever is really cringe. Its indistinguishable to the Twilight fandom. If any of that shit was actually right we would have communism by now. Learn, think critically, punch nazis
