Which historical Communist would be the best roommate?
(thelemmy.club)
I'm thinking Engels. Responsible, reliable, motivated, has money, knows how to manage it and is incredibly generous (he died with more than he gained from the factory sale despite supporting the whole German/communist underground in London).
Also who'd be worst? Would Marx ever catch up with his chores? Would Che disappear suddenly for months at a time?
(Not a very serious question obviously)
Stalin would be too busy either being a chad and doing crimes, or running the USSR to be around much.
he would rope you into hard drinking on nights when that would not be wise
So I'd have a reliable drinking buddy? Sounds good!
I had a roommate once who was in black bloc and our apartment got raided by cops "looking for evidence" a few times. They warned us by letter that it could happen beforehand.
I also lived with an El Salvadorian ex-guerilla/ex-politician and while he cooked food he was cranky constantly and he said he viewed me as his son, which I didn't need.
In short: mixed bag
