I have little patience for commies here in the states. Especially those of middle or upper class upbringing. They often times claim to be for the worker but have never once worked or done anything that would delegate themselves as being workers and try to tell working class people how they should think and feel. Communism is a pipe dream and not even a good one at that.

Truth. But it is also a sad reflection that we’ve eroded the trust in government, experts, and authority figures; and places the American Dream so far into fantasy for so many, that they feel they have to turn to leftist extremism just to “fix things.” Most “communists” here are just entitled and bored with ennui- in large part for as you say, generally never having really done “real work.”

The classic (but dated) “300 channels and nothing to watch.” We have so much that none of it really excites most people, especially once they feel they’ve experienced all the superficial distractions. They want meaning, they want change just so they can feel something else. Suburban boredom and people working jobs where their life work is a stack of papers that aren’t even real- electrons on a drive, nothing to see, nothing “real” for their efforts. We need to build things, create, and sometimes sweat a little.

People used to get enough sweating at work. Then they started doing it for fun just so they could feel like they’d done something. Then it became a chore, part of keeping up your life, and now there are 50,000 programs and new fads all the time when people get bored of whatever they were doing to feel alive that wasn’t working. Live longer so you can be bored longer. I hate communism- but as upset as these kids make me with it- it’s more sad, and I feel like we failed them too.
