the time tax to get basic life done was pretty absurd—and typically fell on women
The "time tax" in the FRG on women was higher with the demands for sole child care with relatively little external child caring services from the ages of 0-18 (and schools which weren't open long).
I remember plenty of both USSR and GDR and have to admit that 50 is more close to remembering it properly.
40: ~7 when history ended
50: ~17
60: ~27 (so maybe even finished some education or marriage or kids)
70: ~37
80: ~47
90: ~57
If you are part of those groups write a bit down or record a bit please.
I can't do most things you describe.
Good is anything that Pixel of Life annoys 
Also , it's important to note that In most of the gendered languages the masculine form is neutral and in my mind i wasn't gendering you but just using a word used to call someone attention.
Yeah, but we have quite a bit of research to the contrary, that the masculine form is actually not processed as neutral. There are some who try to keep up the "masculine means all", but honestly there are a couple of experiments which in my opinion falsify that.
One question you could ask is if statistically people mention the most common self labeled genders mostly equal in speech, but that is something that I have yet to see actually be done successfully. The contradiction to it was shown in studies though.
The writers and producers did decide that a scene has to be there in which our protagonist does sever his last social connection that directly relates to the class and loyalty of his friends and crew. This of course has to be initiated by his former buddy as to not create a moral guilt.
While I do agree mostly with your reading from the in universe logic (especially that what he did academically was meh). Though it remains that there is a clear valuation of what work is good and which isn't. Some aspect of that is monetary valuation, the liberal leftist speech in regard to not wanting to work for the military is sadly not enough to breach it - as it is linked to the general anti war sentiment of the liberal's in relation to Vietnam and thus not honest, as we could see 4 years later after 9/11).
That scene is classism pure though.
What do you mean by that?
Do you mean that the military and police officers are trained in the US, even those doing the coup-ing?
Do you want to imply that the US pulls the strings (against a french aligned African ally that is neoliberal)?
A friend of mine is a Spanish first language speaker and when I visit them the next time I would like to have a rudimentary language skill set, just to be nice and show appreciation to them.
worked back-of-house
Does this idiom mean working in areas without customer contact like back office, kitchen, maintenance, IT, technical stuff, labs etc?
In regards to the second, communists and working class people are human, we are all over the place, there is no correct distinguished way to be a communist. So it can be both as others wrote. I remember having a Marx study circle with like 10 students, 2 PhDs and 1 - extremely funny and smart guy - who worked in a factory producing Trafos (very cliche I know) and whose parents were communists in South America and fled, and quite a few of us academics were pretty much shutting down the experience of him, cause it wasn't the German academic study circle style.
This site instead would've laughed with him and tried to incorporate the jokes and experiences into Marx exegesis.
Hello anarcho syndicalist! Nice to see you around 
Since the worst antisemitism of the Tsar was ended with the October revolution and the years after it, that rings as if it could be true.
