    Becoming a communist has greatly improved my mental health because I’m no longer constantly disappointed by liberal politics. Now I put my motivation into helping my org grow which feels very fulfilling.

      It is because communism (in the sense being tankie) is far less radical than what we actually need. It is just imperialism with some red aesthetics. This is not the way, this is surrender.

        If everything is shared under communism, that would include political power. So that would make communism a direct democracy.

        Does that sound like the nation’s you have in mind?

        Communism is inherently anti imperialistic. Maybe read a book before you spread red scare propaganda.

          Do you mean the communism’s ideal or actually existing “communism” of “anti-imperialist” USSR? I read about both and live in a post-soviet country.

            I feel like the communism that everyone associates with communism are just dictatorships hiding behind the name. Pity people now think that’s what communism means.
