      As communism becomes more appealing in the west, and people desperately look for alternatives to capitalism, expect to see more and more of these…I don’t know, “pink haired tumblr communist” sort of things to become pushed more and more as the mainstream opinion. The powers that be (and any and all captured parties/controlled opposition) will pick the absolute worst people as the “champions of communism”
