the DSA is speed-running the process where every existing communist state crushed unions and workers' rights, except for, like, 20 guys.

In other words, the meme is right lmao

No one is free until everyone is free. How can that happen? It starts with the basic principle of consistently opposing all imperialism and settler colonialism, wherever it occurs and whoever perpetrates it, period.

This is a really dumb idea, because 'playing an instrument' narratively a rather less useful skill than 'having magic'. Anyone who chooses being a rogue with a mandolin would be better off literally choosing rogue, and putting some skill points into playing an instrument.
