people are just way stupider and uninteresting than you think
Nah, not about people being stupid. The propaganda apparatus is omnipresent and STRONG, it's been perfected over centuries, and it accompanies us from birth to death.
idk what to tell you. I was a dumb teenager, then when I hit my early 20s I started seeing everything from a zoomed out perspective (instead of working within a framework)
I thought about the job market and saw that either A) everyone gets equal B) the lowest tier gets pushed into homelessness and then prison forever and ever as long as it's gradual enough that everyone isn't unemployed all at once
Communism isn't when everyone gets equal, it's just a system in which there aren't two classes, with one owning the capital and the other having to sell their labor power as a commodity while being exploited.
Misanthropy and socialism don't go well together IMO. My desires of social justice and betterment of living standards for everyone aren't that compatible with misanthropy, at least in my opinion. What makes you a socialist then?
