as an ex smoker whose very existence is impossible to place on this poll im very confused what you mean as no effects went away with a tolerance. i just developed a tolerance to them. its uncommon for such a thing to ever result in the effects of drugs no longer being felt no matter the drug, and this especially doesnt happen quickly. took at least a year of quite heavy use to happen at all

My one friend group can't stop saying, "See you in hell!" in a cheerful voice instead of, "Talk to you later!" and my other friend group can't stop calling things "penis" instead of "cool" or "good", so I just unironically uttered the phrase, "Sounds penis, see you in hell," as I got off the phone.

i dont really get how you could not understand everything being free is a very simple and appealing shorthand for the more abstract concept of abolishing property thats a thing that poor and deprived people might like the idea of

i like that the definition of communism is just wrong here. communism is always a stateless society, the differences between communist sects have to do with disagreements over the degree to which seizure of the state can plausibly lead to that. a state run economy can be socialist but it's not communism, nor have any such societies pretended to have already achieved communism

from each according to their ability to each according to their need is 1/2 consumption. at one point in the german ideology marx even defines communism as just a society where everyones needs are met, foregoing references to production at all.

its also worth noting communist societies dont have money, so bananas would never cost 27 cents. thats why free shit is relevant to the concept of communism. because nothing requiring you to prove yourself and give things into a system to get is what "from each according to their ability to each according to their needs" means! its not like exploited workers in the third world arent included. exploited workers being worked too hard and not getting what they need despite it being produced is like, a very big part of the point of wanting everything to be free. which is what communism is

Expanding on the tags I left on the post I reblogged earlier because the whole "I'm a communist because I want people to have free shit" is like. Such a fundamental misunderstanding of what communism is.

I think it's a topic that also popped up last year when the banana discourse was going on (a.k.a. when global north "communists" were throwing a fit when confronted with the idea that a communist world economy might involve bananas being slightly less available in global north countries because massive amounts of worker exploitation in the global south are currently required to make it possible for bananas to be not only available but commonplace year-round in the global north) and a bunch of people were going "well how do you expect me to support this as a communist, i thought communism was about wanting people to have nice things!"

(Of course I'm simplifying a lot of stuff here but) Communist politics exist primarily in the realm of production. Communism is primarily concerned with the question of who owns the means of production and thus gets to decide what gets made, how much of it gets made, how it gets made, and how it gets allocated and distributed once it's made. And the answer that communism gives to this question is that it's workers who should get to own the means of production and make all these choices, either through the state apparatus, through a decentralized federation of labor syndicates, through workers's self-management, or whatever other medium depending on the specific branch of communism.

Meanwhile, "I want people to have free shit" or "I want people to have nice things" are statements that I think most communists agree with, but these statements themselves are not what communism is, because they are statements made from the angle of consumption, not production.
