look man you may dislike it but the people of the provisional government rejected the bolsheviks cleanly and fairly.

What's that? They didn't? In fact the bolsheviks were incredibly popular and widely supported because they were the only faction that even half rear end tried to actually support the people? Well why do all these black flags hurriedly hiding cop badges insist otherwise?!

I wouldn't be surprised if this is actually a rather young audience for modern television.

Basically the only people watching network and cable are old.

I remember going to a local restaurant after some event, and they brought a sandwich from another place. That's a violation of health and safety law, but that isn't what bothered me. They didn't even have the decency to try to hide it, forcing the wait staff to have to tell them to stop eating outside food. That always stuck in my craw, putting the waiter in that awkward position. I feel like any decent socialist should never make a service worker's life more difficult.

i mean, the whole idea of "outside food" is a capitalist construct in the first place, the only reason they have to say something is because their business competes with the other restaurant, and some restaurants aren't good about meeting people's individual dietary needs. i think you can go down a slippery slope really quickly with this kind of thinking, the point of abolishing capitalism isn't to make work less tedious, it's to make society better. service worker's lives aren't necessary supposed to get easier under communism, they're supposed to be compensated fairly for their labor. Making society more accessible to people is a huge pain in the rear end and getting irritated because you had to accommodate a food allergy or remind somebody of a policy is counter-revolutionary. There will be greater sacrifices ahead.

:shrug: I'm sure the guy is a douche, and I don't bring outside food into restaurants myself personally

but I consider socialism and communism to be labor movements and I find the aversion to labor among modern socialists to be loving repulsive ftr

if a laborer is being fairly compensated for their work, I am not doing them a disservice by making them labor. (obviously you can abuse laborers, but c'mon, your example was a three second awkward social interaction about a sandwich, grow up)

I freaking warned them to hide the food when the waiter approached but they wouldn't even bother holding the sandwich below the table for a moment

afterward, when I asked what the hell, they said something to the effect of, "I don't like being sneaky"

I can't believe this is still kicking around in my head 5 years forward

Which American service worker is fairly compensated for their work and not merely beholden to the wage arbitrarily set low by capital?

it's not about whether a corkage fee is a defensible concept to begin with, it's about not giving the service worker a hard time - the waiter's boss doesn't care that "outside food" is a capitalist construct
