Always has been!

He most definitely calls Russia the USSR to this day.

This is a very good idea for him specifically!

Ya part of what I said to him was “This falls into conspiracy theory, so debunking it with facts isn’t going to work.”

Yo, that was a perfect fake commie Trump LOL

nope he is 100% serious he says it to me in person.

i totally agree with you! https://www.marxists.org/archive/kim-jong-il/works/On-Fine-Art.pdf

I agree fam! We need to build true socialism.

“teaming up” is just another way of saying allies! England, the US, Germany, Italy, and Japan are the axis. Could not have said it better myself.

HAHAHA, I added ‘poem’ to the title after most of these comments were made.

Now does this mean that this is her political leaning, or that this is her voting demographic? either way so far off base! LOL

Now if it was an anti fascist wall like in Berlin… maybe then but “Scratch a liberal and a fascist bleeds” so she would never.

I’m not a fan of authorial intent… I like to make my own meaning from what people say. Anyway here is a line by line brake down.

The title is a reflection of the ‘Are we the baddies?’ meme, symbolizing the realization that capitalism causes much of the world’s suffering. ‘We are all soldiers pre-manufactured’ speaks to the idea that capitalism sows the seeds of its own down fall; that once you recognize that capitalism is full of lies, you begin to fight against it. ‘Asleep in a psychedelic liquid’ and ‘awash in false memory’ represent how we are drowning in propaganda, while ‘fractured’ refers to the division within the proletariat. ‘To one day wake full of righteous anger toward our enemy’ is about the intense anger that comes with waking up to the reality of oppression. ‘Built to hate the systems embedded within us’ reflects how capitalism has ingrained itself within us, and how hard we’ll have to work to undo that. ‘Assembled’ could refer to the masses putting bodies in spaces or to individuals being shaped from birth. ‘With a destructive lust’ speaks to our revolutionary potential, and ‘to live only in our dreams’ touches on a utopian vision of the world, as well as my personal experience with people (mostly liberals) telling me that communism works in theory but not in practice.

thank you for your interest in what I was saying.

I realize the above comment might come off as rude or dismissive, and I’m sorry to any comrades I hurt by inadequately representing this as a real question, especially Łumało. I appreciate the feedback and will strive to be clearer in the future.

I love this comment! It seems like you interpreted the poem as suggesting we’re in a simulation of capitalism. While I love where your mind is going, that wasn’t what I had in mind when writing it. Honestly, though, that could make for a great book—about communists who don’t remember or never lived through capitalism, seeking proof of how terrible it was.

Totally based in material reality—maybe I just didn’t write it well enough. Thanks for the critique. Edited: This poem is about waking up to the contradictions of capitalism.

Amazing imagination comrade!

Honestly, I was just chilling, watching the show Severance, when the urge to write hit me—specifically, to write about how capitalism forges its own destruction due to its inherent contradictions. I also totally meant to post this to the creative writing sub, not comradeship. Oops!

The DPRK “captive” by who, Koreans? ya super BASED! Makes total sense.

Beautiful!
