    There is nothing wrong with being pro Marxist. All the more power to you and engaging politically. The issue is you guys – at least here on social media and forums – seem unable to divorce any conversation from marxist-leninist theory. Every discussion, topic, analysis is exclusively locked in this worldview because you’ve decided fervently that this is the ultimate frontier for humanity and anyone that slightly disagrees with this perspective is a capitalist neo-liberal bootlicker that needs to be flogged and burned on the stake.

    Every time. Every. Single. Time.

      I think it’s more that related topics have Marxism brought up. I certainly don’t spend all my time reading theory and trying to get people to read theory, I also love coffee (especially espresso), hiking, cooking, gaming, and I have a job. However, when there is a lot of discussion and misconceptions going around, I do my best to correct them. It’s easy to think Marxism is someone’s whole existence if you don’t see them outside that context.

      If I am relaxing, I am usually on my Hexbear alt anyways.
