Marxism, even “authoritarian” permutations, is fundamentally a humanist philosophy oriented towards maximizing the experiential diversity of proletarian lives and is thus inherently already reconciled with drugs and sex. it’s the capitalist context of commoditization and inequality that make them decadent

you may not have been referring to my statement, but just so we're clear, it's the fact that rich kid libertines are playing at being leftists that chafes me, not that people are having a good time. in fact it's primarily been my comrades in organizing who have been my connections for the times I've experimented with substances beyond weed, and as for sex, well, I will only say that I am very happy to have lived in an era of humanity where PrEP exists, and that where I presently live, that it is covered by statutory insurance.

as a communist I think we should be prying the patents and formulae for such things from the cold, dead hands of pharmaceutical executives so we can all be sluts without the specter of death (or with modern medicine, at the very least a reduced quality of life) haunting us

Marx contributed immeasurably to the liberation of mankind by his intellectual work. He also got drunk and rowdy, which is all well and good.

These bourgie fuckos are of absolutely zero use for anything and would absolutely side with reaction rather than give up their privileged-rear end lifestyle.

So if we gonna go back in history you dumbshits who are all "well I don't see nothing wrong here" are literally defending the equivalent of 19th century Russian nobility conspicuously consuming the filthy lucre that they robbed from the people while putting on pseudo-intellectual airs and declaring themselves to actually be the best friends of those they're sucking dry, and if you can't see why this should be absolutely enraging then you're not a leftist period and need to shut the gently caress up ya liberal. Or to borrow the words of a dude who knew his stuff:

The intellectual forces of the workers and peasants are
growing and getting stronger in their fight to overthrow the
bourgeoisie and their accomplices, the educated classes, the
lackeys of capital, who consider themselves the brains of the

Leftist Drug Orgy is the cool place to hang out. You can find most of the cool people there. In Leftist Drug Orgy you can just chill and do whatever and totally relax. "Take it easy" is the Leftist Drug Orgy motto, for example, that's how laid back it is there. Show up if you want to have a good time. Another good reason to show up is if you want to hang out with friends.

marxism is entirely irrelevant to these people, it's just another edgy way to substitute for having no worthwhile thoughts or personality. 200 years ago, these same people would have had a satanist themed drug orgy instead.

imagine being rich like these people are, and then bragging about having hosed this name-brand chicken toy to the reporter you invited to your event, as if it was some sort of accomplishment.

loving each other and doing lines is whatever, the real problem is the rightward pressure these dilettantes are going to exert on the movement if they're able to establish themselves as bona fide leftists. They don't believe in anything or have any real commitments, but if they get the brand right then they've got a long career ahead of them as guest speakers, celebrity organizers etc.

what does my posting from 2016 prior have to do with marx being a biggo goon who hated working and loved partying. engels was p much the same but he came from wealth so he ended up being able to support his and marx's habits lol.

I understand, what I mostly take issue with is that the line of logic that being able to do weird dumb parties is inherently bad, rather than the fact whats bad is that essentially it's a luxury on a certain class of leftist can enjoy because they where born into wealth. It's a dynamic that's existed as long as socialists have existed.

quote:

The funniest thing here is goons finding a way to be even more performative in their outrage than the ultra-performative people in the article they are mad about

essentially that for some what gives them their bonafide socialist credentials (unlike those other running dogs)......is just that they hate the bougie socialists and their cringey poo poo
