It’s lemmygrad, we’re the spectre. I’d bet at least half of the other instances out there block us, there’s only like 300 dedicated users on this instance, and they still can’t stop complaining about lemmygrad/tankies

    I love how the Spector seems to imply an evil in the heads of most Normans. I see it in my friends group and I will admit I had heard the line in the past and thought the same. Then I decided to actually read instead of parrot and realized it’s a Spector in the same literary sense as the Spectors from A Christmas Carol that haunt Ebenezer Scrooge.

    The Spector of Communism exposes the world to the material realities of it’s past and present, which lay the stones that lead to the grim shadows of a future yet to come. Shadows, dear reader, that we might change by leading an altered life.

      I still prefer the idea of it being a frightful hobgoblin.

      A mischievous little elf who steals power from the capitalists and places it in the hands of the proletariat. The frightful part only applies to capitalists though, because they slowly realize they are losing their grip. Once the hobgoblin was worked it’s mischief, the power that the bourgeoisie once possessed cannot be regained because the workers of the world realize that they actually had the power all along and that frightful hobgoblin merely lifted the veil that had deceived them into thinking otherwise.
