       Everything is always political.Navigating this world requires a savvy grasp of the Good. It is not wise to dismiss this fact. Suffering is temporary in the greatest of long term runs, but is certainly given and permanent in this political system.As someone wise said before me, 'if you tremble at the thought of injustice, you are my comrade'. It is reckless to put concern over our suffering down to hand-waving and over-excitement. One of the greatest virtues many of us share here on the fediverse is that we all have a keen sense of the evils of our oligarchs and our pernicious capitalist social institutions.That is why it saddens me when I see people at the forefront of our movement here (and the fediverse is indeed a movement) making light of the concern of our loud voices, saying 'everything is going to be okay'. How can this be known? Furthermore, how can this be known by _you_?Haven't you experienced evil, and how banality is its carrier? Even if we have no practical real-world presence globally, we communists have at least our trembling hatred of suffering and injustice.
