Yes, yes, but let's get back to my own personal vanity...

What should my Party Title be?

When introducing myself to the cadre on the playa, I was thinking a good official title is in order. I like “Soul Comrade #1” but not so sure about using that with the plebes. I also like something bureaucratic sounding like “General Secretary”, but maybe with an egalitarian twist “Junior General Secretary” so I sound like just one of the little people. Maybe add a militant addition like “…in Defense of the Homeland.” I know there are better minds here than my own I can glom onto and steal ideas from. Whatdayasay?

Looks like somebody drank the koolaid with the new anti-snark policy.

And using "Czar" in the title for a communist party, that's the kind of new fresh thinking we need around here. I like how the modern usage has made the word bring to mind someone who sits there and doesn't really do anything, yet is in charge.

And "Ferret", I know that is definitely how I will now in private refer to the other "comrades".

And"CCPEBMJAH" will be the sub-title, something like Comrade CCPEBMJAH.

Okay, we can get back to our regularly scheduled melt-down of the financial world and capitalist encroachment on the playa.

Grover has already been embraced by some of the Burner crew, radical inclusion dictates embracing that rattler.
Look, the Burn rocks, people go who want to have fun, and Grover is a self centered hedonistic right winger. You can have him at your party.
He wouldn't want to be in our party.
The very best thing about being a part of a communist party is you don't have opportunist assholes like this claiming to be a fellow member/comrade.

As a society we don’t have a whole lot of patience for skeptics or even realists — our politics and popular culture has been dominated by people who tell us what we want to hear.

Sometimes ya get the feeling that the rules are made to protect the powerful and silence the weak.

"But those are the rules."

It's such a great way to justify to yourself protecting the powerful and silencing the weak.

Anyway, it looks like the playa is getting sold again to some high-bidders in the "sharing" economy.
