re: #78 engineer dog

my wingnut correspondents didn’t believe me when i told them that most hippies in berkeley were not actually communists and had never heard of bob avakian

It’s pretty rare. Maybe some young people in their early 20’s embracing radicalism to annoy their parents and a few old cranks in academia. An actual functioning adult communist is pretty rare. Even my last employer claimed to be a socialist but didn’t pay a living wage or the legally required overtime pay. He spent his money on ugly expensive artwork and remodeling his huge house on a 4 acre lot.
