I'm currently waiting to stand trial for breaking into an Israeli owned arms factory.
I lead a campaign to ban supermarkets from throwing away edible food instead of giving it the poor and hungry.
I volunteer and communist community soup kitchen for the homeless.
I organised the workers at my company into forming a union that has repeatedly won better deals for the workers across the industry.
I help maintain a free community vegetable garden and teach people how to be more self sufficient.
And yes, I help run my local communist community as part of all that, including teaching workshops on various subjects, maintaining the community library specialising in political theory books and teaching the best way to reduce harm in a capitalist society.
I advocate for people to be realistic and vote for what will lead to the best outcome, because I don't put my own self righteousness and moral superiority complex over the actual reality of people's lives.
You on the other hand will gladly give the actual fascists power if it means you get to act like your hands are clean. And you make arguments that are indistinguishable from those of radical free market capitalists.
Yes, you are much, much more of a liberal than me. You like to LARP as a communist because it makes you feel good, rather than working to advance the actual goals of communism. I know youre too full of yourself to accept that. But if you're even 1/10 the communist you like present yourself as, you would take this critism on board and actually evaluate if your actions serve the underlying purpose of making the world a better place to live for the exploited and impressed masses. But we both know you won't.
