I remember reading about some high tech super smooth glass being developed that tomato sauce glides right over.

Then around the same time the sauce industry switched over to squeezy plastic bottles that solve the problem of no sauce coming out of the glass bottle until you give it a few whacks and it all comes out at once.

But they also introduced the problem of any amount of crusty sauce on the nozzle makes a jet stream of sauce eject in a nominally random direction that allways ends up on your shirt.

Where are the magic glass sauce bottles we were promised?

    the magic glass was invented in east germany, sadly it was too sturdy for capitalist economics so nobody makes it anymore


    A communist should be able to change a diaper, follow a trail, tend a farm, raise cattle, criticize a political manifesto, drive stick, teach a child, play an instrument, resolve disputes, organize a union, bind a wound, care for the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, read a map, mend a garment, gather mushrooms, hack a computer, and cook a tasty meal. Specialization is for the bourgeoisie.

            same, that’s why i changed a bunch of the more militaristic lines from the original to community and political activism oriented ones, and swapped in some direct allusions to the German Ideology

        it’s more of an aspirational statement about being a well rounded person who can contribute to their community and rejecting simply being a cog in the capitalist machine than a checklist
