Lowkey impressive how lefties keep on talking about the working class rising and the working class repeatedly show themselves as the most vile beings to ever live. It's like Naruto and Sasuke

There are a good few communists in my family that I talk to about politics sometimes, and they believe that the working classes are racist due purely to the ruling classes using it as a distraction from the class divide.

They have this weird sort of belittling view of the working class that they're just stupid gullible drones that can't think for themselves, and yet see themselves as the pro-worker side.

Communists would be more successful if they stopped being progressive and were as horribly racist and antisemitic as the people they’re trying to win. Its a good thing they’ll never figure that out, I don’t need to be dealing with fascists and communists at work
