treats are the luxuries marx talked about ending the production of, but back then there wasnt really a consumer class that we have now, most of the luxuries were consumed by the upper classes, and what little luxuries the lower classes consumed, mainly alcohol, didnt account for much production.
so the problem is now, we got a large proletarian base enjoying nice thing, ie treats, as well as the still small upper class buying a shitlload of treats, so much treats they can never uses, yachts, jets, mcmansions, ferraris, while those are treats, treat discourse is entirely aimed at reducing the consumption of the proletariat consumers because we are a bunch of bourgeoisie communists living in brooklyn brownstones off our daddys allowances making podcasts with a alleged sex offender.
we want to abolish treats because treat production is literally killing the planet, but we want to consume the treats and will justify our consumption as being necessary because we are very important communist thinkers, we are massive hypocrites and do not do what we preach. we often bring up the concept of malthusianism, which we think is total bunk, with communism resources can be distributed to everyone evenly and a small portion can be siphoned off by high ranking party members to do blow on a private island.
the earth has a carrying capacity of 40 billion people if if we force 39,999,999,000 of them to live in giant archologies, basically massive buildings that can support millions of people inside through green energy and recycling without needing outside resources. basically we want people to like eat recycled poop to save the environment. we want them to live without even a toothbrush, no medical care, clothing, they all sleep on the floor in a communal sleeping room, and the vocal police kill anyone who has sex because nice things are treats, except when i consume them, because i am the ceo of communism.
some cool people even say breathing air is a treat, living is a treat. we think even basic necessities for human survival are treats because we are fucking insane and we created an entire political theory by doing a revisionism on a single paragraph in the communist manifesto.
and that, our federated comrades, is treat theory, please donate all your money to hasan piker and feel bad about that coffee you bought this morning you are literally hitler and satan combined for buying a cup of coffee. but you know im not. you would understand why if you read this whole fucking post, why would you read this instead of doing praxis? YOU ARENT DOING COMMUNISM HARD ENOUGH.
LEARN THE FUCKING ACRONYM!!!!
im not trying to do a bi erasure, bi people are valid. im just saying as someone who was bi sexual who later became pan sexual after learning about the term i just think changing some of the letters around would be good ways to raise awareness about different genders and sexualities in the acronym. so many people know what lgbt is but they dont really know the plus part. the first four are really important to the broader conception of gender and sexual identity as a whole. look if we can change the flag i dont think the acronym is sacrosanct either, i do however think we need an acronym.
i think lesbian, gay, and bisexual should be lower on the acronym. i think trans people should be first since they are receiving most of the targeting and attacks out of any group in the community right now, i think pansexuals, asexuals, and nonbinaries could really benefit from a representation bump. TPAN, rolls off the tongue. we can keep lgbt too. nobody got rid of the pride flag after the progress flag. both can exist at the same time. i just think its a representation issue.
