Except for the field organizers of strikes, who were pretty tough monkeys and devoted, most of the so-called Communists I met were middle-class, middle-aged people playing a game of dreams. I remember a woman in easy circumstances saying to another even more affluent: “After the revolution even we will have more, won’t we, dear?” Then there was another lover of proletarians who used to raise hell with Sunday picnickers on her property.

I guess the trouble was that we didn’t have any self-admitted proletarians. Everyone was a temporarily embarrassed capitalist. Maybe the Communists so closely questioned by the investigation committees were a danger to America, but the ones I knew — at least they claimed to be Communists — couldn’t have disrupted a Sunday-school picnic. Besides they were too busy fighting among themselves.

    This is my old account that was banned by the over zelous turdz at programming.dev. I would just like that to be known. Also the capitalist have a global network. They are poking and proding to see what they can get away with… The best solution is understand how you leak data and how to stop them from extracting that data. Finding and creating platforms to go around the corpos and their tyranny. If people keep banning each other they will win. That is all I got to say about that.
