They describe material conditions creating communists and the only way they have to deflect that is to claim it’s because of inability to climb rather than because the system is genuinely just rigged against people so that only the luckiest of the lucky can climb.
Ability is the only rationalisation they have. The belief that they are abled and that everyone who can not climb is less abled.
This in turn leads to ableism. If those that can’t climb are simply unable to and they always become communists, eliminating them from society is the safest way to protect the society benefitting them that they want to keep.
Thus bourgeois liberal ideology inevitably ends up at nazi ideology.
It’s the same tired criticism that’s been around forever. If you’re a poor Marxist it’s because you’re jealous and likely incompetent. If you’re a successful Marxist then you must be a hypocrite.
The funny thing is there are two equally valid paths to becoming a trans girl communist.
One is you transition, get steadily disillusioned with liberal politics while realizing your intersectionality with other marginalized peoples, go through some sort of demsoc/libsoc phase eventually to settle on being a Marxist or anarchist.
Or there’s the more hilarious option which I did, which is suspect there is something fundamentally wrong with the world, look into politics/philosophy, realize the world is fundamentally broken and wrong, but despite this insight something is still not quite…oh shit I’m a girl.

hey it’s me. diving head first into heady ML texts to try and analyze the world through a very rigid scientific lense because that’s easier than asking myself why it hurts to look at pretty women
Me-being-interrupted-my-nose-deep-in-the Economic and Philosophic manuscript of 1844, “Oh trans woman? Totally women. Beautiful and amazing, god I wish I was one of those, but sadly I’m a wretched goblin who needs to read this Marx to work out why I am so sad”
Also I am a mentally ill (OCD, CPTSD), neurodivergent (ADHD, ASD) trans woman who is a student of dialectical materialism and supporter of Marxism-Leninism, and I guarantee I earn more money in my professional career than >90% of redditors.
So what is their excuse?
(Edit: I know mental illness and OCD are neurodivergence, just libs don’t know that)
I took the first one. Not the worst, but you still do occasionally cringe at past liberalism in dark nights.
I still had that second moment though lol. It turns out if you repress hard enough, realizing that you’re trans is like throwing a brick into a glass house. Except the house was my mind.
I have found that commie and tankie ideology usually comes about when a person can not move up from their current financial position due to inability or laziness, an inability to accept the unfairness in life, youthful naivety, and/or want of moral high ground. Queer communities are no stranger to the above.
So is this poster saying that trans people are more frequently communist than cis because trans people are inept, lazy?
hmm, why would members of an oppressed minority gravitate towards beliefs that offer a solution for their oppression?
ah, i know! it’s because they deserve to be oppressed!
Hmmm… Why would queer and/or trans people have an inability to move up from their financial situation…? I know! It’s because it’s their fault!
Once again we see how belief in the fairness of the “free market” necessarily leads to bigotry.
The thigh-highs are getting in the way of my bootstraps, guess I gotta accept my oppression
an inability to accept the unfairness in life
“Having a sense of self-worth makes you a commie”
they will call you an idealist too for having “an inability to accept the unfairness in life” smh
i mean…
Curious how anticommunism relies on bigotry.
I like how they concede that communists have the moral high ground, but somehow frame it as a bad thing.
It’s because communists aren’t tough boys with no emotions like the poster
Of course I’m unable to accept the unfairness in life; why is this always cast as a bad thing? We should rail against unfairness that is wholly within our control. Said unfairness that is very much the overarching issue for all humanity and is leading us to self-extinction.
Apologies for wanting to improve things somewhat.
I think everyone was gaslit into thinking fairness was important when they were little, and that the trauma of realizing that nobody cares about fairness in the REAL WORLD is the first major trauma that all people experience in life.
The same people who call you “elitist” for disregarding popular opinion in favor of the truth sure love to talk about how they’re sooooo smart and mature Big BoysTM because they recognize the obviously bad thing as good actually.
[…] person can not move up from their current financial position due to inability or laziness, the inability to accept the unfairness in life, […]
Me getting filthy rich immediately after accepting unfairness in life
Also, laziness does not exist

if the Dems were more accepting of trans people there wouldn’t be such a high proportion of trans tankies, simple as. See: cis white gay men.
To be fair a lot of them are republicans too. I think it’s just the cis white man part doing a lot of the work.
Why have Libs been so mask-off about their hatred of trans people recently? I feel like I’ve been seeing a bunch of posts about this lately
Because Democrats are giving them a license to finally express themselves freely without fear of social backlash.
Apparently all the pro-trans stuff was part of the woke 1.0 package
Can’t wait for Woke 0.5(capitalism) was crazy and for the democratic party to adopt neo-feudalism and the republican party to adopt neo-slaveism
Short answer? Pink capitalism failed and created a backlash amongst liberal consultants in the democratic party, which have pushed to stop fighting for LGBT rights and let them fail, even calling the previous era of human rights advocacy ‘Woke 1.0’ and declaring it was a failure that ended Clinton’s and Harris’ presidential run.
Since neither party in the US sees any political value in fighting for these rights, those that were unironically virtue signalling have felt safe openly admitting they were never for anyone’s rights but their own.
Yeah the gay marriage and trans rights was definitely what derailed those campaigns. I can’t think of anything else they did wrong. Not a single thing. lol.
They realized pink-shirt capitalism (predictably) didn’t solve their problems, so they’re swinging back to brown-shirt capitalism.
How dare us trans women (checks teleprompter) want to not get killed!
…Wait, that’s reasonable though.
Sorry, that’s a comorbidity
God I wish all trans girls were communist. Learned the hard way its not true after one shamed me on a ZOOM call about wanting to have “cocktails” at Nazi house in town flying flags. And I had done that in a small “” defense"" chat on signal.
*edit. Changed word choice
I’ve met too many neoliberal trans women and it always feels like meeting an actual alien
Nazi house? What?
Yeah, they were waving a literal nazi flag in the neighborhood and I made a comment about wishing we were at a point where we could do something about it. This upset the liberals, including this one transgirl who proceeded to signal me out on a zoom chat and say what it was I had wanted to do on the very not secure call. She and this trans guy also suggested we could set up a protest outside the house where we would stand there and do nothing. I had to explain to them how that was very much not a good idea and got
in response. Needless to say I am not part of that group anymore.From the way you wrote this, it reads like the nazi house was your idea, and the trans woman shamed you for wanting to go i know thats not how you meant it but i got a bit of whiplash
I don’t really see how, but wouldn’t be the first time I wrote poorly.
purely for the purpose of being a big nerd:
“one shamed me on a ZOOM call about wanting to have “cocktails” at Nazi house”
the ‘me’ in the sentence is the one wanting to have the cocktails. another similarly written sentence would be “my neighbor shamed me about not separating trash and recycles”
I had originally put something other then cocktails but was afriad it would get flagged against the rules so I put cocktails hoping the appropriate adjective would be understood with the quotes. I have apparently failed in that regard.
might of been better.I thought it meant your friends were wanting to get drinks at the nazi’s house. But wanting to use “those cocktails” at the nazi house is fully reasonable given, you know, the nazi flags.
Liberals once again proving why the new revolutionary government should keep me away from deciding what to do with them
transsub
I am so stoked that there are so many trans girls who are communists on here. Makes me feel less lonely but I feel like “finding one near me” is impossible. It is like searching for diamonds. Can we like congregate somewhere pls 😭 Not sure I want to live with a liberal but who am I kidding, I’d rip off an arm to hold another girl in my other one 😩
Transgirl separatist state established in Cascadia
The only state I’d be willing to fight for right now!
The feeble trans FeeeeMALE mind wants to oppressed by the Tankie redfash.
It’s because I have no self respect.
I mean because they-
