thx for going through the effort of retyping and I agree with your point. :)

Quite frankly I'm of the opinion we need more nose-to-the-grindstone communists, something I try to strive to be myself and help others I know work towards as well.

Could you explain this a bit more? I've met enough comrades that got burnt out because their effort was not met with success. (This is a well-meaning question, I feel like it does not read that way, sorry)

Relatively good times, created by a the murder and exploitation of millions across the world, have made me complacent and complicit. It has made me lazy. It has made me weak.

Why would any person do more than necessary? Isn't one of the goals of communism to achieve self-determination for all? If there are no options available to you that allow you to pursue your own interests (e.g., living without violence), are you at fault?

I'm angry at this system, which prevents me from self-determination, which prevents me from living such that I do not cause harm to others. But I'm not angry at myself, I'm neither lazy nor weak, I'm powerless to determine my own life.

i assume that you mostly do this either because the topic interests you or you expect more money if you do this, which are both valid reasons to do stuff. You will probably be dependent on wage labor for the rest of your life and there are no revolutionary jobs if you live in the imperial core shrug-outta-hecks Also, if it's for the money, you could use your additional gains to further your revolutionary interests, e.g., by using your newly gained capacities from having less to worry about economically, to organize

do you think getting banned for card counting is a realistic outcome? I always found the idea weird that casinos provide a game that you can "cheat" by counting cards and then spend the effort to detect card counters.

is there anything to do other than talking to people about how their problems are caused by capitalism?
