Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.

As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.

Thank you and happy chatting!

Personality and lifestyle-wise, I'm way too liberal for the communists. Beliefs, values, and ideals wise, I'm way too communist for the liberals

I'm hardly interested in the "stereotypical" autistic culture but I'm also way too autistic for allistic people

Don't fit in with white people at all but also don't fit in with my racial group because the way they live out their identity and culture is purely through liberal consumerism. Also, EVERY young Westerner is a white supremacist to some degree, even ALL the minorities, unless they're a far left communist

Too bourgeoisified to fit in with most working class but I'm also way too class conscious and radicalized to fit in with peers of the same socioeconomic status

Not queer enough to fit in with the queer community and much too queer to fit in with cishet people

Honestly, I was infinitely happier when I was living life as a fully masking cishet liberal. I actually felt a much stronger sense of belonging back then. The more I learn about myself and try to live true to my heart, the more and more I suffer

I want to go back to when I didn't know anything about the world or myself.

There’s millions of people just like you.

I dunno if there were millions of well off western communists I think communism as an ideology would be in a better place. Rich people discovering communism is pretty fucking rare in my experience and historically speaking.

There's a ton of us petite bourgeois communists, but we don't always do the best things for the movement.

Are there even millions of Western communists at all haha?

American communist party membership is like what, 10-30k right now? And like half of that are Trots?

People who don't organize, while still cool, unfortunately don't count since we're talking about the progress of communism

At the very least, there's dozens of us. Dozens!

A million odd, discarded puzzle pieces that don’t fit with anyone ´normal’ or even each other.
