You shouldn't feel any less of a leftist for not having stuff just as no one should be made to feel like they are a lifestylist for having a few things. It's a personal choice at the end of the day I don't think any of us should be looking down on anyone for wearing or not wearing something as well as having or not having something.
Exactly. Some people like to collect nicknacks, some don't. To me, this is like collecting stamps, coins, or comic books, only the difference is that everybody here is a leftist of some stripe or another and quite passionate about being one... Hence, the natural predilection for paraphernalia with hammers, sickles, circle As, and sabcats on it.
O, why should wrath be mute, and fury dumb?
I am no baby, I, that with base prayers
I should repent the evils I have done:
Ten thousand worse than ever yet I did
Would I perform, if I might have my will;
If one good deed in all my life I did,
I do repent it from my very soul.
Act V, Scene III; Titus Andronicus--W. Shakespeare
