Absolutely E U P H O R I C

The fact modern communists are so detached from the ideas of Lenin (however foolish those ideas were) is why they never get anywhere. Can't mobilise the workers when you don't work.

I thought you hated capitalism?

Work is, indeed, very important. How do you get the resources for your living unless you put in some work?

What I said does sound simplistic, but this is because AW doesn't understand simple things.

More like "can't mobilize the workers when your entire political program revolves around the legitimization of harmful freak lifestyles", with the occasional foreign policy take that might or might not be wrong, it's usually like a coin flip.
They stopped caring about the productive people some time ago, now their vanguard are all kinds of degenerates, who also happen to be the clergy of post-modern capitalist society and just shows how colluded with power 99.9% of them are, whether they're aware of it or not.

Maybe I'm playing their game when I shouldn't, but maybe at this point it's more revolutionary to bully a troon to death than to have a picket in front of a factory to prevent layoffs. Not that the latter isn't desirable, of course.

Yes, because the "anti-degeneracy" squad loves worker's rights- wait, they're usually also hypercapitalists who think being poor or working-class makes you subhuman.

I don't get it, if you don't want to work just pick up lots of older women you meet at the airport bar and then take money from their purses while they're asleep.

The hypercapitalists vote and back Dem and their "progressive" causes and at this point I almost feel sorry for traditionally right-backing elements like Big Oil which is about to take the way of the dinosaur with all the money sent to "green" energy companies.

And take it from a communist, it was never about "rights", that's just utopianism. It's always been about power, which I can't say the working class has and can only be taken at someone else's expense.

At least you admit it. The mouth of today's revolutionary is always above the boot that will stand on the working class's neck tomorrow.

Hypercapitialism is as gay as it gets.

Not at all. I am strongly opposed to anarcho-capitalism and ultra-libertarianism because it doesn't work, but I still favour a regulated market over any kind of communism.

Yes, I am a filthy centrist, thank you. Not everything even slightly to the left of the slow creep back to the company town and payment in scrip that both parties in the US currently support is Communism.
Also: there is no economically-center party in the US, much less left.

The Democratic Party's economic stances are spread so broadly among its members that I don't think sweeping statements like that are right. Currently the neoliberal faction is in charge of the party but that's not necessarily permanent.

The clergy were some of the most universally respected members of their societies.

Meanwhile, what we're dealing with here are potentially cashed-up people with the personality of basement dwellers.

Thing is you're supposed to respect those people too.

How dare the finacial times like that there is a lower motality rate than the black plague? If just more people died, these NEET's (or aspiring NEET's) might find a job worth their time.

Some NEET fondling his toys in a room in his mommies house: "Grow up capitalists!"

Because if this is you:

The only thing that held them back was their luck.

(I do believe that luck matters in how successful you become, but hard work is also an extremely important aspect. Every successful person is hard working, but not all hard working people are successful.)

All the more reason to define themselves as the new clergy.

Luck helps, but having some perseverance and willingness to compromise helps too. Maybe that means taking a job in another state, or starting out in a field you're not crazy about. You can stay there for a couple of years and then move up. Luck can never beat sloth and entitlement.

Or maybe they just don't like being told that their gender studies degree that they paid $300k for is worthless. At some point, if you want to grow up you have to think about something besides your own immediate emotional gratification.
