  • Wew lad but can you ever tell this is .ml.

    So, thought experiment for you. What do you need to overthrow a government and oust a bunch of rich assholes from power? Well, you need power of your own, right? You need loyal comrades.

    And say you actually manage it. Chances are it was tough. Some didn’t make it. But now you’re sitting on all this wealth and power. Are you just going to give it back? To who? What if someone abuses it?

    You’re the one who did the work. You’re the one with a vision for the future. And now you have these loyal comrades and surely they deserve something for their sacrifices and hard work?

    And so it goes.

    Anyway, it’s less about Communism as a set of ideas and more about what power does to revolutionaries and how that mixes with the local culture.

    Or the CIA made it all up because Mao and Stalin et al did nothing wrong. 🙄

    Why do you enjoy the show? Are you a fan of science fiction? Is your sense of humor rather dark and nihilistic? Does the way the show finds humor in sci fi concepts interest you? Is it about the social and mental health commentary?

    Or do you just enjoy potty humor?

    Understanding what you like about something is more useful data for a potential partner than even necessarily what you like.

    It can also impact which partners will feel safe and comfortable around you.
