    I’m a Zoomer and if you’re talking about the US, communist party membership was literally like 5 times higher in their days than right now

    Boomer bashing is dumb

          I’m sure it does happen but if ‘every’ Boomer has that life then that might have more to do with where you are or who you surround yourself with, including radicals.

          I’ve met a lot of aging Boomer Leftists who are not even homeowners, much less business owners, and barely manage to survive but understand that’s the life they chose for themselves to keep tonsome revolutionary values. Shitting on a whole generation which includes its working class radicals is really misguided, as you said.

      Not saying there aren’t based boomers but that’s not really saying much, isn’t the CPUSA notoriously ass? Most communists have no interest in it
