This is them trying to say they aren’t a left anti-communist. Followed by this for good measure:

    Nope, I’m a democratic socialist, judge away

    “Free college, legal weed” is supposed to be the start of discourse, not the end of it, when it comes to appealing to outsiders.

    Leftists tend to stand for more than that and want systemic change and may even talk about that in a place you can notice, which upsets you because you want to consume products and sit in your bubble without feeling uncomfortable.

    where the real cowards run away to their echo chamber to brigade shit

    At least its entertaining

    Did you find a bingo card of liberal cope strategies and just read off the boxes at this point?

        Not really? We just generally have past history to point to for what happens when democratic socialists and communists attempt to be on the same side throughout history. Eventually, if push comes to shove, your particular political logic comes around to ally with the fascists you say you are against. I mean, you already are demonstrating the logic through your very discourse it’s not a stretch to say that if there was an actual class revolution in the U.S. (as unlikely as that is) you would inevitably be on the side of ‘law and order’. You seem to side against any socialist project that takes any kind of measures to defend itself against the imperial state’s extractive capital.

        Good luck with that democratic socialism though, I’m sure it’s incredibly likely in the near future.
