I just recently saw a couple of posts on reddit that blew my mind with how condescending and downright hostile some folks were to someone asking an honest question on the fucking communism101 sub. Basically the person asking a question about if being a lawyer would be a good profession to get into to assist people and they were basically told that they just wanted to live a cushy life and were self serving, unethical, and basically gave the impression that whatever good they wanted to do was just liberal fantasy. I felt so bad for OP especially since it was a communism for beginners sub. There was a similar post on the regular r/communism where OP got their ass chewed out too. I can see getting annoyed with those types of questions but good lord did they leave a bad taste in my mouth.
One person did post a pretty interesting article that has made me shift my perspective a bit but even in that they called social workers pathetic and like, how is that constructive at all?
How can they be communists and not know that Castro and Lenin were lawyers?
The CIA even created a whole booklet about communist lawyers called "Communist Legal Subversion: The Threat of Communist Lawyers".
Damn I forgot that about Castro and I don't know much about Lenin (yet), that's wild that they would just ignore that to bully someone online. Pretty much everyone told him it's a self serving idea. Link it felt insufferable and I wanna read and post that booklet now

Huh, looks like all these links are dead. Does anyone know if these sites work since the Reddit changes? maybe this bot needs to be fixed, or the reddit part removed if these sites don't work anymore.
