actual leftists dont argue with leftists. the purity test is a myth created by the far right in an attempt to drive an ideological wedge between leftists, and the fence sitting liberal capitalists. its a self sorting myth that pushes liberal capitalists away from full class conciousness based on percieved petty differences. much like the gondolins and the horse men of rohan prior to the battle of gondor, especially under the influence of grima wormtongue, who whispered untruths and falsehoods in the ear of the bewitched king theodan, in an attempt to keep the kingdoms of men divided. even after his bewitchment, king theodan understood that he needed to put away the ledger of sins from their past with gondor, in order to prevent the fall of man. he struggled with this, but ultimately knew what had to be done when gondor called for aid. everything was at stake.

the leftist understands that its always been up vs down. and that left vs right is a distraction myth. we are like the elves, dwarves, and men of middle earth, even the hobbits. fighting against the darkness of sauron. squabbling over petty differences only serves the dark lords mission of division and permanent victory over man, bringing upon an age of darkness the likes we have never seen before.

we fight for what all that is right and good in this world. for freedom, equality, and truth. anyone who says otherwise is under the influence of forces beyond their current understanding. whether or not they succumb to ignorance is a matter of will and intellect. much like fighting the dark influence of the one ring and saurons will, it is ultimately up to the individual to imagine a world not dictated by greed and the persuit of ultimate power. but rather one where all can live together, in equality, harmony, and peace..... in spite of our differences. we as their friends and would be allies also have a duty to guide them when we can, and accept them for their differences, as long as they are willing to fight along side us.

"Never thought I'd die fighting side by side with an Elf."

"What about side by side with a friend?"

".....Aye.... I could do that."

we all share this world together, and the time of darkness is upon us all. we should remember what our fight is for, and it is not just for ourselves and our own way of life. but the lives of the men and women, and everyone inbetween and beyond. who, like us, simply want to live a full, free, and peaceful life.

That flag doesn't exist anymore.

"Also we're just doing this to make HR happy, we're already gonna hire my nephew."

Yeah join a union regardless. They need numbers to negotiate.

Fuckin' A

It's supposed to represent labor in general, whatever the means of which you provide it. People are needed in all roles in a communal society.

It is brutal backbreaking work ... and so were most industrial jobs from the era of soviet communism

Those jobs still exist, you just outsource them to Pakistan and India.

I think the big issue is lack of variance in your work. Human brains need different stimuli. S o if you do only one type of work all the time, you want something different after a while and yearn for another extreme.

Problem is: that runs counter to taylorism.

communist societies need ditchdiggers too!

I gladly dig ditches, if it's not the only thing I do.
