Ehi, oportunistas. You will like this text, especially the uninitiated. Perfect way to explain a worker's conditions of existence through burger flipping at McDonald's. It is easy on the verbose and short, yet also very comprehensive because it illustrates the point using experiences very familiar to us all. Authored by a Swedish left communist collective. Show it to your friends!

if you want to be really subversive, make captioned r34 of leftcom cat where the captions are both lewd and leftcom related, things like 'this is the only kind of activism I approve of' as she takes a dick up the ass
I want to cum in Leftcom catgirl's hair as she angrily glares at me for getting her messy.

Alright, I read it, pretty interesting read. Also how it properly explains communism as a movement and capitalism as a system perpetrated by production for exchange and not just assymetry between proletariat and capitalist. However, and I may be wrong here, the article is pretty much endorsing lifestlyism to make life under capitalism more tolerable. Isn't it this very escapism that allows it to survive?
I thought leftcoms were pretty autistic about denouncing lifestylism.
Oops, made a few errors. Should be

I might undust the ol' Huion tablet and make more leftcom cat OC.
As the article lays out, it is by sabotating the cycle of capital in our wage laboring that the real communist movement displays itself through the class struggle. We can never "let survive" a system by emanating from it as revolutionary subjects; capital is a constant and it is kept alive by human labor's adherence to its law of value. Capitalism only survives because we are passive against its reign; viewing it as a thing to be tamed, to reorganize under, and so on. Our goal as communists, realizing the worker's conditions of existence, is to see to it that this system is brought to a crisis large enough so that this revolutionary agency may be awakened. What better way to precipitate ourselves towards such a crisis than to do so as fulfillingly as possible; as against the ritual sacrifices capitalism demands from us?
Pretty interesting definitely and accessible text to introduce people to communism with.
One quick question. This article say that people who work in restaurants (a service industry) are proletarians. I've seen two definitions of Proletarian used:
1. Anyone who works for wages and doesn't own any means of production.
2. People engaged directly in the productive process.
The former is more common but which definition better reflects Marx.
Glad you liked it.
The former comes closest, but a proper definition for proletariat would be that class which subsists primarily by selling its labor for market exchange in return for a wage.
It makes sense, it's just not the kind of proposal I'm used to seeing from leftcoms.
and do make more leftcom cat OC
You'll find some people on Holla Forums who still think the proletariat are only industrial workers. We have now a new development of precarious workers, who don't even work for wages in the traditional sense.
It's one thing to talk of communism as a 'movement', but by doing that you're avoiding all of the very relevant practical questions involved with communism as a mode of production.
You act like people will just 'figure out' how to fundamentally re-organise production in the course of the revolution - how do you account for the fact that that's never actually happened during all the revolts we've had during the last century? Were they not the right kind of revolts? Do you think it's maybe a little unrealistic to expect people to figure out the entire practical implementation of a fundamentally different economic system in the middle of a revolution/civil war?
OK nevermind I got a reply I'm happy with when I cross-posted this. You leftcoms are alright in my book.
is this some kinda joke about how leftcoms read too much?
bump for good share.
I liked this, sent to lazy friend
OP make sure to keep us updated on those leftcom cat drawings
Your wait is finally over. Enjoy.
