       Today I learned from an aggrieved follower that I am a TROLL who is running an OP and should go back to RUSSIA for making a leftism 101 observation and I’m left wondering which part of “anarchist communist” in my bio people are glossing over when they follow me.

       @HeavenlyPossum When you use terms like Left and Right you're confessing to be a commie Marxist, because that's a KM invention. Real people don't get pigeonholed in those two flavors, kid.Indeed, Russia is where you'd be most comfortable.

       @HeavenlyPossum Well, you can't possibly be serious about pigeonholing everybody into just two Marxist political flavors. Real people aren't like that at all and such Marxist concepts provide strawmen to tilt against.

       @ClaraListensprechen4 Please say psych. This has to be a bit. I can’t tell over Mastodon anymore because people say such kooky stuff to me.

       @HeavenlyPossum And they obviously don't know that Russia is neither leftist nor communist these days.

       @ken1951roberts I was genuinely surprised to get that literal bit. Like, that’s been a dumb cliche for *decades.* It was so out of touch!

       @HeavenlyPossum Ya, Mastodon is a rather large umbrella for people who are just as out of touch with real people as you are, so there's that.If your world is defined by Marxist dichotomy, that's a sign that you ought to get out more often and meet some real people for a change.

       @ClaraListensprechen4 Oooh you’re for real, ok. Ok.- I am an anarchist, not a Marxist. Communism predates and is not exclusively coterminous with Marxism.- The idea of a political left and a political right predates Marx considerably—it refers to a seating arrangement in the French legislature—and is a rather banal of nearly-universal framework for understand politics. It is not a “Marxist” thing.- Russia is not Marxist, in any sense, and the state there tends to murder anarchists and other leftists.But holy shit I did not expect a take like yours to come out of the blue.

       @Helmic @ClaraListensprechen4 Right? I thought it was a joke. It’s too ridiculous to be real!
