Not for everyone, but it's a little weird that self-proclaimed communists are apparently completely incapable of putting their money where their mouth is.

Easier to bitch on the internet than work for actual change, isn't it?

‘If you don’t make your own worker owned company you’re a fake communist’ is certainly a take.

Maybe, but it's your take, not mine.

More like "If you don't action your words, then you're full of hot air."

There are too many occasions of Internet whiners yelling "Eat the rich" then not actually eating the rich.

Their bark is worse than their bite. They live to sow anger, but not action.

So the only two ways to be a real communist are to either eat the rich or start your own company, interesting. I will give this all the consideration it deserves.

You think posting online is real communism. Lol.

Let me be more blunt.

The only way to be a real communist is to actually act out the philosophy, rather than be all talk.

What money?

The money that isn't even enough to buy a house?
