communism: can get educated to any level you want, means of production are owned by the people, can literally do any job you put the time in to be qualified for, dont have to work to survive so you have the options to truly be creative with how you spend your free time. 

capitalism: you must have money if you wish to do what you love unless you get lucky, which if we look at the overwhelming majority of the planet, people are not lucky, and therefore are forced into jobs that don’t need to exist that they don’t want to do, never truly able to be themselves or do things they’re interested in they’re forced to be cogs in a machine. it kills individuality, beats it out of you until you’re too weak to fight back or until you die.

This goes with what I said earlier. Individualist thinking is counterrevolutionary when it concerns itself with personal liberation with no regards for collective liberation.

Individuality, on the other hand, the uniqueness and liberty of each human, can only exist with communism. Everyone must be free for anyone to be free.

you know, the fact that people see a person who has no will to do literally anything as lazy instead of mentally ill is pretty shitty in my opinion. it’s just a basic definition of types of neurodivergence: a lack of will to do literally anything.

it’s how they diagnose depression for instance. even if you aren’t sad if you have no will to do anything, you are not neurotypical. 

we view basic definitions of types of mental illness symptoms as character flaws, to a point where even people who experience these symptoms will view themselves as just fundamentally bad but not mentally ill in the slightest. and never do they learn there is possible treatment available to them, and that what they’re experiencing isn’t normal.

a person isn’t bad because they can’t or have no will to do anything, but there is treatment available for this, and you know even if said treatment never works on said person, I still don’t think they deserve to die because they don’t function like other people do. 

a lot of what’s perceived as “laziness” is rooted in anxiety as well as depression. paralyzing fear of failure is a classic symptom of anxiety disorder, and negative self-judgment (“i’m just lazy”) only feeds that anxiety and worsens the paralysis.

if you’re too cozy on the couch to get yourself a glass of water, perhaps you could be called lazy. but if you’re too afraid to ever make plans, take risks, pursue your goals, or even leave your apartment? you’re not lazy, you’re suffering and you need tools to cope with your illness, not criticism from yourself or others.

Dissociation gets mistaken for laziness, too – you might feel paralised, unable to move or even think, or “zone out” or “daydream” (maladaptive daydreaming is a thing and it’s not a character flaw!), or constantly forget what you were doing/ wanted to do (or how, or who you are
), you might end up in autopilot mode and do the default thing instead of the thing you were meant to do (go straight home instead of running errands on the way), you might lose connection with the rest of the world or your own body
 there are many ways dissociation can manifest.
