I am so cool smuglord

  • As we all know, online leftists are the vanguard of the revolution, and as such, we must always be utterly humourless about everything, to set a good example for the proletariat. Otherwise they might think a successful revolution could involve fun or hope or just general positive emotions, and as we all know, being positive is the worst possible thing a person can do, it’s basically just distilled liberalism.

      It’s always those damn anarchists trying to put the fun into everything and ruining our asceticism:

      At the dances I was one of the most untiring and gayest. One evening a cousin of Sasha, a young boy, took me aside. With a grave face, as if he were about to announce the death of a dear comrade, he whispered to me that it did not behoove an agitator to dance. Certainly not with such reckless abandon, anyway. It was undignified for one who was on the way to become a force in the anarchist movement. My frivolity would only hurt the Cause. I grew furious at the impudent interference of the boy. I told him to mind his own business. I was tired of having the Cause constantly thrown into my face. I did not believe that a Cause which stood for a beautiful ideal, for anarchism, for release and freedom from convention and prejudice, should demand the denial of life and joy. I insisted that our Cause could not expect me to become a nun and that the movement would not be turned into a cloister. If it meant that, I did not want it.
