Reading about FOSS philosophy, degoogling, becoming against corporations, and now a full-blown woke communist (like Linus Torvalds)

        To be fair communist rhetoric online is a huge mess.

        On one hand, you have the communists who are like, “human rights inclusive of all gender identity, basic needs met for all, no state and no class society!”, very nice and cool, yay!!

        On the other hand, there are communists who are like, “install a dictator who kills all political dissidence, support foreign invasions, let’s go Soviet ultra-nationalism!”, very gross and yuck.

            The same people who call for executions also tend to be narcissistic to the point of never being able to handle any kind of criticism, ever.

                Unfortunately I’m not making them up, because if I was, communism would be far more popular.

                Instead of communists going, “well, maybe I could be better”, they go, “it’s all western propaganda that makes communism so unpopular, it could not possibly be me that ever does anything wrong”.

                    “Marxism” polls very popular in an authoritarian 1-party dictatorship that strictly controls the internet, media, and speech, polls unpopular where freedom of speech is allowed.

                    This is not the flex you want it to be, you’re really just proving my point that communists are terrible at messaging.
