Drag rides dragons and also “rides” dragons. drag/dragself person-independent pronouns. That means drag’s pronouns are the same in first, second, and third person.

  • That one’s biased. It doesn’t consider reproductive labour to be labour, which is a social bias rooted in historical misogyny that devalued “women’s work”.

    And even then, it should have had a spike anyway during the feminist revolution, when half the population stopped working “0” hours. It doesn’t count women who didn’t work. It only counts people currently in the workforce. It hides the fact that’s twice as many these days.




  • Drag just doesn’t think Russian history is very important. Drag spends more time learning about new world indigenous politics, culture, and metaphysics. If you want to learn about communism, don’t go to Russia. Go to Australia. Australians did it for 60,000 years, and Russians couldn’t even manage to do it for 1. Drag is reading Kayanerenko;wa: The Great Law Of Peace, about the politics of the Haudenosaunee people.

    https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/twinrabbit-stolen-anarchy Here is a transcript of a youtube video about how Marx, Engels, and the rest of those white men culturally appropriated communism from Turtle Islanders. Drag values the work they have done trying to bring about communism, but drag prefers firsthand wisdom over secondhand. Drag thinks reading Lenin is a waste of time when you could be reading the philosophy of people who have lived in actual communist societies.





  • Drag thinks the precise opposite. That the parties Lenin discussed weren’t electoral parties. The meaning of the word party back then isn’t the same as now. Nowadays parties compete in electoralism. Organisations like Extinction Rebellion or the Proud Boys, which operate outside the electoral system, are not what we would call parties today. And yet Lenin’s “parties” are more similar to XR than to the Greens. Drag thinks you’ve been misled by a bad translation from the English of a century ago to the English of today.

    Drag 100% agrees with the strategy of creating socialist organisations outside of the government. Creating socialist organisations inside the government is more complicated. It’s good in most places, but not in America. And it isn’t what Lenin told you to do.

    In 1924, the average family worked 40 hours a week. Now it works 80. That’s what happens when you double the workforce and fail to change anything else.

    A 20 hour workweek is equivalent to what our great grandparents were doing. Society CAN afford it. It’s just a matter of fighting for it.


  • Drag is trying to avoid venting about Harris until after the election. Preventing the fourth reich is more important than all of drag’s concerns about the Harris campaign. Drag doesn’t like it, but drag doesn’t like protesting under the hot sun or arguing with transphobes either, and drag does those. This is one more sacrifice for the cause.

    Drag thinks if Trump loses badly enough, the GOP could collapse. It could schism and maybe neither side will be able to stand up to the Democrats. When the GOP isn’t a threat anymore, we can either vote Greens or split the Democrats in two to make a left party. We can pass electoral college reform and ranked choice voting. We can make a democracy. And we can gather weapons and organise all the while and try to achieve a revolution. But all of that requires Trump to be gone.

    We need to help Harris so we can move beyond her. She’s a stepping stone on the path to the future. We’re gonna stomp on her head and get one step closer to having someone like AOC in the white house.



  • In 1924, it was 40 hours per household. Most workers had a wife to cook, clean, and raise the children. It should still be 40 hours per household. Women, men, and enbies should all work 20 hours a week. Anything more than that should have legally mandated overtime.

    Maybe if we did that, the zoomers could actually afford to get married and have kids.
