Even the bourgeoisie themselves have to admit that bloody violence and pornography are “restricted content,” yet you claim these things are not reactionary and accuse us of being deluded for calling them reactionary. Isn’t this a distortion of facts? If we follow your logic, then the past socialist China banning pornographic dances and dramas praising kings and nobles was also wrong. Are you opposing socialism? Also, please keep your tone normal and stop constantly attaching vulgar content to your speech.

I think this is reactionary.
Damn, this is the first time I’ve seen someone bargaining with a communist over this and that.
He wants: to maintain the opportunity to become a bourgeois running dog in today’s old society, exploiting others and enjoying a life of unearned gains;
to keep his current lifestyle of playing games, regardless of what bourgeois content he accepts, and if I don’t let him play, he opposes you;
listening to leftist DJs, believing that the melody of music has no class nature, in other words, opposing the theory proposed by the forum regarding music, and thinking his ideas are correct;
believing that he can learn knowledge in university and asking the organization for technical training;
finally, he does not want to participate in the Saint Ku system.
My own view is that a person’s daily activities and the class he belongs to, as well as his political goals, are inseparable, because it is impossible for a worker whose main daily activity is to stay in bourgeois institutions and play games to be truly revolutionary. A worker’s daily life is also completely different from that of students and petty bourgeois who are not working full-time, and the contacts and things they encounter are different. Just like myself, in the past year working in a factory, I can honestly say that most of my life outside of sleep and rest has been spent working, even though this work is wage labor. Asking a student to imagine someone working from 7 a.m. without looking at their phone, with almost no entertainment for 12 hours, then rushing home after work to do chores and attend a reading club. Playing games and indulging in various pleasures only happens two or three hours before sleep. Such a life is unimaginable for a student who does not deeply hate the old society. Many workers, after work, don’t even play games or do things like watching porn or masturbating; they just have a few sips of alcohol to numb their tired nerves and rest.
Therefore, for the vast majority of workers, things like some petty bourgeois elements and students, which are hard to give up, are not big problems for them. When it comes to combating pleasures and the low-level interests of the bourgeoisie, students and petty bourgeois are behind the working class. Being addicted to these things is neither natural nor a capital to bargain with communists; rather, it is a flaw that shows they are lagging behind the working masses and cannot bear the revolutionary responsibility.
Similarly, if you can weigh the cause of fighting for the liberation of all humanity against whether you can play games, it only shows that in your eyes, perhaps the former is less meaningful to your life than the latter. It also reflects that you have never done anything for the revolution, but you have done many things for playing games. Because a person’s practice determines their thoughts.
You also say you care about your parents. There have been articles about parental love on the forum, which you can look up yourself.
My view is that if you truly want to participate in the revolution, you need to first restrain the self-centered and feeling-oriented mindset you showed in your opening post.

This person seems to have been underground for a long time.

After the book club ended and I saw this post, I took a look and realized I hadn’t read it before, so I treated it as a new post.

Huoyan, you should also change your life and write an application to join an external organization. You are already exploited by capitalists at work, and after work, you spend two or three hours using spiritual opium to forget the fatigue and shame of the day. Now, Chinese workers and farmers are gradually rising up to fight, have you ever cared about these news? During the New Year, there are over 200 strikes and wage protests every day, farmers are fighting against the government to reclaim land, students are also rebelling, all aiming to challenge this dark bureaucratic monopoly bourgeois state. Huoyan, didn’t you learn some Marxism? Have you ever promoted it among your coworkers? I remember your factory is also pretty shady, not to mention fines and penalties, the workers must be very dissatisfied. You haven’t updated your labor diary for several months, what have you been doing recently?

Is it really every day??? If the holidays around the New Year are assumed to be 7 days, then these 15 days would start at least 3,000!
Um, comrade, may I ask how to join peripheral organizations? I’m thinking of waiting until my summer break or other times, since I have enough time. I’d like to engage more with workers and participate in basic tasks, but my personal social skills and experience in this area are quite limited (I’m also shy about asking, I’m quite introverted). I don’t know exactly how to begin, so could you please tell me how to start konkrety?

You need to first answer everyone’s questions with a self-introduction, and then you can join the chat channel. After being active for a period of time, if you can indeed stay connected with everyone, continue learning, and follow the rules, you can submit an application to join.
Thank you very much.
No, based on your reasoning, humanity’s earliest ancestors, Australopithecus, were in trees. Then why did we ever go down? Shouldn’t we just stay in the trees all along? If I say it, it would be better to return to the starting point directly: directly primitive slavery, the bourgeoisie—this kind of idea clearly violates human nature. Human nature dictates it, so only slavery is the future. At least come up with a reason to wriggle out; there are so many stereotypes being pushed to the limit, and if you don’t want to take risks yet want a good reputation and benefits, then…

From what you’ve said, the summary is that you want to join the organization, but you can’t give up many bourgeois commodities.
I can offer you a few suggestions:
- In middle-school reform (or in schools with reform), the knowledge and theoretical ideas you learn, you must participate in labor yourself, go to enterprises and factories to engage in labor. Whether favorable or negative, you can only verify it ourselves with materialist dialectics through practical experience.
- Personal hobbies, good or bad, reactionary or revolutionary, during your struggle for production, under the premise of survival, can all be transformed. Many reactionary hobbies are products of long-term disengagement. In a large production environment, your hobbies will adapt to large-scale production. Otherwise you won’t survive.
- Family and religious issues: in large-scale production, when you realize the true meaning of Marxism and transform yourself into a proletarian fighter, these problems will be resolved. Without practice, ideological transformation can only be driven by external factors; most important is the subjective side, actively practicing, let external factors stimulate the subjective, to better transform yourself.
