      Communism! Don’t even consider it. Don’t think about it. Those are bad thoughts, suppress them. Get angry at them. Lash out about it! Communism! It’s evil! It’s more evil than the term evil can describe!

      Ok, ok. I’m done. I got to be honest, though. I don’t know very much about communism. I’m not asking to learn this very second, I just wanted to throw that out there.

        i don’t know much about it either, friend, I’ve just read a certain manifesto, made a brief foray into das kapital, and read a long question about “what is to be done”.

        All jokes aside I started reading some theory out of spite (no lie, its sadly why i do most things lol). It just seemed so clearly and thoroughly detested by established economic thinkers, politicians, and pundits that I just had to know what the big effin deal was.
