I have to imagine that what they mean is that the boyfriend has some opinion about the USSR or Mao that they don't like or something, right? There's no way that their general attitude about class went unmentioned for five years.

I dunno, a woman who had a massive crush on me suddenly asked if I was actually a communist after knowing me for 5 years. we were playing Smash Bros with two other people I had converted to communism over those same 5 years. Apparently she thought I was just doing a bit.

This is so fucking funny but I can totally see it happening even if you're just entirely fucking open about communism all the time, literally telling people to their faces that you support communism, and they just see it as a bit because they think you're cool and have heard communism is a bad thing so you can't possibly actually support it. I have seen this level of complete and total lack of political education many times.

This is funny because she has a massive chip on her shoulder about being higher educated than the rest of us. Gets real mad that our political conversations make her feel stupid when she's the only one with a master's.

You mean you don't actually have a PhD? Next your going to tell me you're not even an owl.

Ahh that's the type of person that thinks a piece of paper makes them a more valuable and important person than others. It's a sort of insecurity really. It's one of the ways they validate themselves.
