Self proclaimed marxists who may or may not have read any books on communism or economics in general who espouse vaguely utopian and poorly thought out ideas about what a 'fair' world should look like, but would never sully their hands with actual labor or handle firearms.
I'd never cared for any of the self-proclaimed Marxists I'd known back in college, but Patrick was different. One look at his teeth, and you could understand his crusade for universal health care. Both his glasses and his smile were held together with duct tape. Notable too was his willingness to engage in actual physical work. The communists I'd known in the past had always operated on the assumption that come the revolution, they'd be the ones lying around party headquarters with clipboards (clipboard communists) in their hands. They couldn't manage to wash a coffee mug, yet they'd been more than willing to criticize the detergent manufacturer.
