This is the most unhinged thing I have ever read on this site.
Let's be 100% clear here: a beer manufacturer making a custom beer can (singular) for a trans person to show to their followers is not "politicising trans issues". You people politicised it. You saw a trans person and freaked out, and now the whole world is laughing at you. Budweiser didn't even make a milquetoast "it's OK to be trans" statement, they didn't put Mulvaney on the cans in shops, they put her on one can.
You people have been trying to drive trans people out of public life. You are the ones politicising the issue. If you don't care about trans people then just leave them alone.
I'm sorry but it's just not credible to claim that you aren't transphobic. Your response to seeing a trans person is to say "grr political! Boycott!" - you couldn't really get a more clear-cut example of transphobia short of physical violence. And... like... you've been a member here for 15 years. We know the content of your character, we know the beliefs you hold, we know all about your esoteric philosophy. If I search the posts you have made for "trans" then it is constant transphobia. I've been here long enough to remember when you were posting the same things about gay people.
If your aim here is to convince the communist that your philosophy of life is better then you've failed dramatically.
Bluntly, dude, you know full well what the rules are when it comes to homophobia and transphobia. They have been explained to you many times over the years. You're demonstrating a clear pattern of behaviour that is never going to change. I'm done.

Many including pieceofwork wrongly assume this.
A great deal who look at communism and socialism with a rose tinted lense fail to realise that they are a even more labour based system than capitalism. If people struggle in a capitalist society then they would be thrown to the wolves in a communist society.
Communists had a zero tolerance approach to those who appeared capable of work but didn't....in other words high functioning autistics. Socialism isn't much better either on those who are unable to work to their best extent.
Communism glamourised hard work and long hours and I feel many who condone it will fold like a wet paper bag if they were thrown back in time to the Soviet Union. We have 50%+ unemployed rates afterall..........

Why is it that some people's mere existence gets declared 'political' by reactionary types?

I was born in the early 70s, I went to school as per the law/society. I became educated in schools I had to pay to attend. I went to WORK as per "the law"/society as to not become un-housed and/or to starve. I struggled to make friends, but I maintained. I found things to do that didn't involve others. The world at large seemed "insane" "but luckily I was born in the right country"
My mother, who I lived with most my youth, made just barely enough to pay rent on PROPERTY. She was never able to buy PROPERTY. My father did not know what to do with me, and so I never maintained a good relationship with him. He made "teh monies", but would have lost it all by the time I would need his help the most.
In the late 2000s, I made a decision that would affect the rest of my life. I quit my job to move far away from where I was doing "well" (not really, I was killing myself with alcohol) I was also extremely lonely. In the years I was with my 2nd SO, I became aware of what was "wrong with me" yet I could not act on it due to the BROKEN HEALTHCARE SYSTEM in the US. No job, no healthcare. But what if you were not healthy enough to work? What if, since you had all this time off, you began to notice the GLARING CONTRADICTIONS in the current paradigm? What if you decided in those days that you wanted to spend the rest of your life UNDOING all the damage you did by working in this now DISGUSTING system.
Now, since I had no other choice but to move out here to TX, I was introduced to how one group of People in the US are treated by this DISGUSTING system. In this time, I also became WELL AWARE OF THE CLASS STRUGGLE, and have used ALL my free time to ACTUALLY LEARN ABOUT COMMUNISM and what the CAPITALISTIC SYSTEM has done to ANY AND ALL attempt at bringing a socialistic/communistic societies into being.
I am insulted now, having been told I don't know what I am talking about. Consider that YOU do not know what YOU are talking about.

There is a lot of irony in your posts though.
I don't understand why you have such contradictory views. Quitting a job but holding the view that the top 1% doesn't work or perform labour and everything they have should be taken off them isn't a healthy outlook to have on others and I imagine not good for your blood pressure or wellbeing in general.

Is he wrong about the world's wealthiest, or is your complaint only that it "isn't a healthy outlook"?
Do they actually work?
Do they actually work thousands of times harder than the average bloke?

Partially wrong. The worlds wealthiest are hard to put an exact figure on their true wealth. Many people think that their wealth is in cash stuffed in a massive room in their house when it's not. A lot of their wealth is speculative and much partially owned by others in the form of shares. The wealth they actually do have goes around the economy to some extent and the public as a whole can bankrupt a lot of them if we so desire.
The actual benefit to society these worlds wealthiest have shouldn't be underestimated too. The only reason a lot of these people are rich is because we love what they do and keep tossing money at them. Others just snowball money by investing in other businesses. Both are legitimate earnings.
They don't work thousands of times harder, but is it really practical to attach an reasonable hourly rate to someone who technically isn't even an employee anymore?
People who have inherited wealth usually haven't worked for it.
"Self-made" people are rarely genuinely so, and always somewhat lucky.
Jeff Bezos didn't get where he is today by working thousands of times harder than an Amazon warehouse worker. He got where he is by making a series of high-risk decisions and mostly getting them right. There are other people who encountered the same issues, made different decisions and flunked. There is no way to tell whether Bezos made those decisions because he's smart, or because he's lucky. But for all Amazon's flaws, I'm glad it exists.
Being the "next Bill Gates" or "next Jeff Bezos" clearly inspires some people to try risky things, so I don't think it is a problem that Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos exist. I also think that the advice to not give up and become defeatist is reasonably sound - you won't succeed unless you try. But lots of people try and fail. Trying is no guarantee of success. For every successful small business owner, there's a handful of serial entrepreneurs who have never made a living.
My dictionary defines communism as a theoretical economic system characterized by the collective ownership of property and by the organization of labor for the common advantage of all members.
The popular definition of communism, apparently used by some members of this website, is any system that favors immigration, religious tolerance, the rights of the people to speak for themselves, and the freedom to practice one's own preferred religion (or no religion at all) and means of personal expression. Those same people want to legislate a degree of morality so severe that it would make the Puritans look like orgiastic hedonists.
But as long as Free Thought cannot be prosecuted, there will still be freedom.

That's not even communism anymore, more like being an incompetent totalitarian government who engages in sweeping clampdowns on "immoral" thoughts.

Think you have misread Fnord's post there.
The countries that are currently "communist" are TRYING TO GET THERE, BUT... they have to deal with the REST OF THE ENTIRE PLANET being capitalist, with ALL THE PSYCHOPATHS wavering their hand over the BIG RED BUTTON to keep those countries "in order", so OF COURSE they need to be "authoritarian" in a way. Then, think about how DEEPLY rutted religion is in most the capitalistic countries, which is used to DIVIDE THE MASSES by the ghouls who hold all the power in this hellscape. As it is also WELL KNOWN that many of the "eastern" religions are used by the west to create "color revolutions" in those states. Oh, did I say state? States are needed. See how well the anarchist movement can get things done? Yeah, that's right. Not very well at all. (anarchism and communism are the same, only the path to how to establish either differ... I say this to show why the "communist" countries always take the socialism path.)
IOW, capitalism is the problem, mostly, and things will never truly move forward for THE ENTIRE PLANET until it is reigned in. People have been trying to do that for more than a hundred years now. And now it's GLARINGLY CLEAR we've run out of time for MANY THINGS SOLELY BECAUSE of this idiotic system that refuses to die.
