I recently met a girl who called herself a communist, so I decided to ask her on a date. She said yes and we met at a nice restaurant to get to know each other. We were having a great time and the topic of politics came up. I asked her what communist literature she has read. She said she’s only read the little red book and considers herself a Maoist. I thought she was joking so I started laughing, but then I realized she was deadly serious when she started glaring at me. She asked why I was laughing, and I told her that Mao was a revisionist (big mistake). This got her even more mad and she shouted at me saying Mao wasn’t a revisionist and that his theory is the next evolution of Marxism. Then I responded “yeah it’s the next evolution of boiling babies” (probably not the best thing to say). She angrily stormed off, leaving me alone at the table. Even if she was a revisionist liberal, I’m still sadden by the experience. How do y’all handle this leftcom discrimination? Should I have lied about my beliefs and pretended to also be a Maoist? I need advice on this problem.
