1954 Always talk of leaving the party.

Happiness and Michael..

1952 The peeps are delusional. Whew.
Stalin was horrific.
All the talk and dreaming without action of any kind…

😵‍💫

AmyG Yes. I thought the same. Leave the Communist party and DONE. It was all so odd. 2mo

IndoorDame At this point the delusion is almost funny. Everyone speaking in jargon, but using it to mean slightly different things, no one actually communicating… 2mo

mcctrish Nothing gets done AT ALL! #alltalknoaction why was anyone afraid of communism?! 🤣🤣 2mo

vlwelser They definitely get nothing done. Maybe the women should have been in charge. Then the guys leave before the girls. 2mo

TheBookHippie @vlwelser right? 2mo

mollyrotondo How many times was it said that someone was going to leave the party?! And they‘d talk and talk about it and they‘d do nothing! They wouldn‘t make changes to the party and they wouldn‘t leave the party. The Molly character in the fictional story (Julia?) stopped participating in whatever party service they were required to do but still didn‘t actually leave the party lol oh and the Michael stuff 🙄 very realistic but also he‘s a jerk! Dump in! 2mo

quietlycuriouskate I imagine them having meetings about what biscuits to have at the next meeting and never reaching a decision because then they would actually have to do something, rather than content themselves with slinging words like "praxis" around. 1mo
