Just Finished Reading Chapter 20 Of @bamsara 's The Redemption Of Death, And Oh My God I Missed Fanfic

Just finished reading chapter 20 of @bamsara 's The Redemption Of Death, and oh my god I missed fanfic so much it's not even funny. I need to read more like it. Thank you, silly internet cat for writing something that genuinely made me smile and cry

communism is a miserable failure

alright, time to put this down into words

before I start, no I am not a capitalist bootlicker or anarchist freak. I'm just not fucking stupid

Communism sucks. ask anyone who escaped communism into a safer country and they can tell you that. it's not exactly a controversial opinion. but for SOME REASON there's been a resurgence of communism (yes I know it's because our corporate overlords are tightening the vice again and starting new blood feuds to profit off)

so let me be clear here; communism WILL NOT SAVE YOU

a communist society will always fail, a communist society will always turn fascist and it will always end in pain. the entire core of communism is repressive, like it or not.

"everyone should be equal"

yes, we all wish for that, but equality is asking for perfection in a world where there isn't even such a thing as certainty.a rogue beam of sunlight breaking up the genome or a single atom being out of place in the chain can cause someone to be fucked from birth, and that's not fair. life isn't fair

communism asks everyone to put aside petty differences, to lift each other up and cast off our chains, but some of us need chains. human nature is not good or evil, it's natural. nature is built on competition, and greed is innate to the human condition, just as the need for conflict is. so no matter what we do, there will always be someone trying to hurt others, whether for personal gain or because something went horribly wrong in their life and it brings them pleasure.

"cop mentality" is not something to be celebrated, but guys, please, stop being so naive. we need some form of law enforcement, because without it, there's nothing to stop the greedy, the hateful, and the monstrous from just having their way.

that's what happened to the USSR, after all. it was a good idea on paper, but the people who led it were all still human, and still made mistakes and reached for more anywhere they could get some. Lenin killed millions, Stalin killed more, and it all collapsed eventually because it was never viable to begin with.

but ignoring all that, the glaring flaw in communism is that it DEMANDS loyalty. under communism, you are loyal to the state. you submit yourself to its rule and have faith that it does what's right for you

and that's always, ALWAYS going to attract cruel, spiteful people who believe that they are right, because nobody will have faith in someone who seems too human and fallible.

so no, communism won't save you from this hell. capitalism has hurt you, but communism will make it worse

instead of decrying anyone who dares try to fight for what we have, try just... considering it? just lstening for a bit and trying to understand them?

because I promise you, average security guards are still going to feel the pain of capitalism as much as you do. shop attendants and minimum wage employees are still feeling the pain of capitalism. but at least they can feel at all, because my god, under communism anybody who dares not obey will die in misery.

I need more girls like this on my dash

There is something

Beneath

sorry if I was being condascending. I didn't mean to be an asshole

Many different species of lethal embarrassment in the world, but none quite so lethal as convincing a friend to sit down and watch a movie/show which changed your life when you first saw it only to realize with dawning horror that it's mid at best.
