Downvote me all you want, but confuses me the hell when communists (both MLs and an anarchists) have iPhones.

I mean you're supposed to support a classless society, yet you spend 1000 on an useless locked down device that lacks basic functionality and is nothing but a status symbol for the wealthy to brag how they own a product from this particular brand.

As an anecdote, I know a communist who has a Ché-Guevara wallpaper on his iPhone, I find it hilarious.

It is kinda verging on the theme of this frequently memed comic though:

4 panel comic of "owning the libs" when conplaining about iPhone wage slavery from an iPhone

Participation in the society they wish to change, probably.

I completely agree, if you're communist you should support mass consumerism. I'm just pointing out that iPhones aren't "exclusive" to capitalism.

The gatekeeping that y'all do is hilarious. This take is some serious tribalism lmao.

A gift, maybe? Or an expropriation?

If everyone has an iPhone it’s communism.

Not if we gotta buy it. I'd rather my taxes go to a jolla phone.

Without capitalism we wouldn't have iPhones. Because before capitalism, nothing ever was invented.

How was capitalism invented? Only a communist would ask such a thing.

Capitalism was invented by God during the 6 days of creation. My ideology is physics and my culture is the default!
