What is the idea that you want the world to be communist, and try to do that within your power, but accept that the current system we live in is capitalist and try to deal with that to live your life - capitalist practicalism?
There is much more to being a communist than wanting the world to be communist. This is what we call idealism.
I mean, if I'm being 101% honest, I don't have much issue with the world being Capitalist.
"I'm so privileged I don't care about the genocide or social murder inherent to capitalism"
As someone with more context about this individual, they aren’t really privileged. They just have had the idea imposed upon them hard that they belong in the elite even though they are not elite and have no way of getting there. They are also an ignorant child, whom I have been working hard to educate.
That person is a Supply Side Jesus believer.
You don’t have much issue with a death cult with constant crises, imperialism, never ending wars, exploitation, poison in the air and water, and mass extinction? You’re in denial.
...well, I do. Its just that I don't feel strongly about it. Unless if it impacts me directly or if I see it in front of me.
There's this thing called having empathy. It's pretty cool, you should try it sometimes.
Lmao wow they said the thing straight up
You care enough about seeking attention and validation for your performative apathy.
"I got mine"
I mean, that's just Marxism
