18:59 <alma> 20:37 <CommunistWolf> I've been self-describing as a capitalist for over a year now
18:59 <-- alma (alma@tilde.team) has quit (Client exited)
18:59 --> alma [alma] (Alma Attwater) (alma@tilde.team) has joined #red
19:19 --> alma (alma) (alma@tilde.town) has joined #red
19:25 <mspe> lol
19:30 <~ubergeek> huh? lol
19:34 <wgreenhouse> I think I remember the context of this and it was capitalist-in-the-class-sense not ideology sense 
19:34 <CommunistWolf> alma: read the lines after
19:35 <CommunistWolf> tl;dr: uphold marxist-leninist-maosist thought! 
19:38 -- alma has identified as alma
19:41 <CommunistWolf> (But if the choices while so doing are to rent or to buy a house, buying a house is where it's at - as long as you don't then let it out)
19:47 <alma> so you can be capitalist but say you "uphold marxist-leninist-maoist thought" and you're suddenly not capitalist?
19:47 <CommunistWolf> No, i'm still capitalist, it's a matter of external economic relations
19:48 <CommunistWolf> What i say or uphold doesn't change the fact that i'm really rich
19:48 <CommunistWolf> I can still fight against capitalism, although i recognise that capitalists have a poor record on the topic
19:49 <CommunistWolf> But honestly, being a prole under capitalism kinda sucks
19:55 <alma> you're rich?
19:55 <CommunistWolf> Very
19:55 <alma> til
19:56 <CommunistWolf> Top 10% of income; top 50% of wealth
19:57 <CommunistWolf> Stopping being capitalist would involve changing that, and i'd rather change it via a communist revolution than by going back to being lumpen, thanks very mucb
19:58 <alma> isn't that still supporting capitalism
19:58 <CommunistWolf> Bedtime now, but feel free to resume the inquisition in 12 hours or so
