There's dozens or harassment communities, if you say anything that's not pure, weapons grade condemnation of anything USSR or AES nuts accusations start getting levelled.

Internet communists have to be like the most irrelevant political bloc in the world. Even if you take the stance that everyone is hoping for a return of purges that's still just a completely irrelevant group. Most people I've seen being accused of tankyness is are more nuanced.

Wtf is going on. I thought it would settle down after the reddit migration faded.

I am a huuuuge fan or Ursula and particularly the dispossessed.

It's obviously fiction but I think it's good to get people thinking about how labour, i.e. doing stuff for productive ends, and work in our current society are different.

Not all labour is onerous work, anyone who's cooked with friends has direct experience in how a task is transformed by the context it's peformed in.

    Yeah, same. I think it's the most realistic fictional look at what a real, fully developed anarcho-communist society might look like, warts and all. It's not FAL(G)SC by any means, and it's not a perfect world. People still suffer and do each other wrong, but there's a dignity, solidarity, and (as you said) justice running through it that makes everything better. One of my favorite books.
