Thoughts of a Communist Slut: Recent Episodes
VelvetKittiCat
Sex work turned me into a communist. Now I take nudes without monetary incentive. I make slutty communist propaganda with the intent to introduce the masses to Marx, Lenin, and Mao. Tolerate my annoying vocal fry (I suffer from dry mouth), uhms, and ad-libs to hear to my analysis of our current social conditions and the need to overthrow capitalism and replace it with socialism.
Note: This is a shortened version of the original podcast for my women's studies course. Please dismiss this version. I will be deleting this one shortly. This version leaves out the revolutionary solution.
We must challenge deceptive idealistic behavior of wealthy ruling heads of state that engage in diplomacy merely to manufacture a sense of legitimacy. No form of exploitation can be solved as long as one state is benefiting off the exploitation of another for its own economic development. Using diplomacy and international law is idealistic, hypocritical, and dogmatic. How can we agree that peace will come from such processes when states have competing ideologies? This only brings citizens unprincipled peace. This is the type of peace that neglects the economic root causes and suffering of all people. If criticism of our capitalist system is never addressed, there will never be an end to gender violence or any form of exploitation ––there will never be peace. The solution lies within the people's efforts to create a new system that does not value human beings for their skill, labor or capacity to produce capital. We must abolish capitalism and build a new democratic society where Black, Brown, and Indigenous women, and all women from the Global South are participating in the movement. We must seize this time to organize!
