Communist Thoughts posted:

I'm probably closer to anarchist just cause theyr correct that the imposition of state hierarchy inevitably causes horrible corruption and violence regardless of whether you're Johnny Capitalism or Johnny Communism.

Otoh I think that the lefty move towards decentralisjng everything, which I think is based in those ideals, doesn't loving work at all. It's basically just giving up right from the beginning.
So I suppose ultimately I don't think of it as a very practical ideology but it is correct.

Also all the anarchists are useless weirdos arguing with eachother but that goes for everyone with strong political views.

Actual commies seem to spend too much time apologising mass deaths or telling people they can look forward to back breaking labour on a collective farm come the revolution. The obsession with labour can strike me as basically protestant work ethic sometimes.
It's obvious why communist rulers push it as an idea for the same reason capitalist rulers do.

saving this to read again later after i recover
