I have a theory that all or at least an overwhelming majority of internet communists are mostly just unemployed people or people who consider themselves underemployed based on their skill sets. It makes perfect sense really. Sure someone with a six figure salary may have an interest in the writings of Marx or enjoy reading about how horrible the spread of communism was to many countries, but the lower you go down the economic food chain the more likely these types are to think fantasy land communism is actually a good idea.

Don’t have a job? Feel like your skills aren’t being appreciated with big stacks of cash? Hey, it’s not your fault! Just blame the system! Get a job that allows you to buy that widescreen HD tv? Huh, this capitalism thing might be ok after all.

You should unionize bro. I spent several miserable years working in a grocery store, but we had a union and a miserable benefits package.

Capitalism got me to where I am today. There’s an old lady who is sweet as molasses who comes in to get her groceries at 10 am every Friday. I help her place her groceries in her car and she tells me I have a nice smile and I should meet her granddaughter one day. It brightens my day.

If it weren’t for Trump and God I wouldn’t have this great position on earth.

I find it fascinating that folks think God, the guy who said you can't be wealthy and holy, supports a man who literally worships ego and money.

Innocent people. I could never hurt innocent people.


Biggest demographic I see is computer janitors, followed closely by social workers. A few academics here and there. There are also a few legit working class people but these are rare. Working class people have the least time for dicking around about politics.

All of them make terrible money and are pissed off because they know for a fact capitalism hosed them.

I was an internet libertarian/contrarian republican during my listless unemployed phase during the Great Recession. Got a job checking on oil rigs out in the woods to make sure we weren't pulling salt water or poo poo, and that kinda pulled me out of that fantasy world. Now, I'm a boring technocratic progressive obsessed with safety regulations and working with the town councl to get grant funding to refurbish the old Main Street storefront and maybe turn it into affordable housing, settle some refugees here and rebuild our tax base.

I'm sure if I had been a communist in my youth I'd have some regrets, but nothing makes me cringe more than looking back at being a loving young republican.
