obligatory copypasta:
Taylor Swift is more than a musician. she is the voice of a generation. She is an idea, a world-historical heroine, light itself.
When people told me they hated Taylor Swift or (far worse) that they were “not swifties,” I wish I had said in no uncertain terms: “I love Taylor Swift. I am in awe of her. I am set free by her. She will be the finest worldwide superstar our galaxy has ever seen.”
I wish, in those exchanges, I had not asked gentle, tolerant questions about a hater’s ridiculous allergy to her, or Taytay’s fictional misdeeds and imagined character flaws. More deeply still, I wish I had not reasoned with anyone, patiently countered their ludicrous emotionalism and psychologically disturbed theories.
I wish I had said, flatly, "I love her. I am gay as fuck for Taylor Swift. I am a big fat dyke for Gaylor.” As if I had been asked about my girlfriend or Fletcher. No defensiveness or polemics; not dignifying the crazy allegations with so much as a Gawker or PinkNews link.

Potential comm rules:
- Post must be about taylor swift
- No sexualizing / objectifying
- Photos of Taylor Swift with socialist quotes overtop of them are encouraged (especially if feminism related)
- Gaylor speculation welcome.
I used to be a full-on swiftie on stan twitter, I met my ex-girlfriend on there.
Remember the Swiftie update account who went to jail for refusing to join the IDF? I was friends with that girl and literally met her irl a few years back. I’m ready for the Swift comm.
oh hell yes, that Swiftie update account is one of my heroes. going to jail instead of joining the IDF is literally praxis.
if they make me a mod of the comm do you want to also be a mod??
on her main, personal account she was a very open pro-palestine israeli, it was pretty lit
yeah, sure, we can have a struggle session about the original version of Picture To Burn
also as a honeypot for misogynistic dude bros
It would also work as a honeypot for bottom dudes
@UnicodeHamSic@hexbear.net reminded me of that famous Taylor Swift quote “women hold up half the sky”
@ElHexo@hexbear.net , @kristina@hexbear.net , and @Maoo@hexbear.net plz upbear and comment thank youuuuu
Taylor Swift fans are far more frightening than the K Hive
Also need to consider before starting this
Also she is bourgeoisie
Taylor Swift fans are far more frightening than the K Hive
yes, now imagine channeling the power of swifties for establishing communism
Also need to consider before starting this
anyone attempting to sexualize or objectify taylor would need to be immediately banned from the comm and then executed.
Also she is bourgeoisie
Taylor Swift is a chaotic bisexual dengist establishing productive forces through mass redistribution of profit sharing to all workers during her Eras tour
The gross earnings of her Eras tour is above $1 bil. While that won’t be her net earnings, I’m going to assume its going to be a much bigger number than the 55 mil she’s giving to her workers. While it is nice that she’s doing this, its not much different to other philanthropy billionaires do to avoid scrutiny.
Swifties are lost in the spectacle, they will replace communism with Taylor Swift
As a Swiftie, I uphold communism first, Taylor Swift second. While TSwift might seem vapid at first blush, a closer examination of Taylor’s career reveals a hidden agenda that aligns shockingly well with the principles of socialism, drawing inspiration from both Deng Xiaoping’s pragmatic reforms and the revolutionary spirit of Maoism.
Swift may not be marching in the streets with a red flag, but her music has had more than one Red era.
Taylor Swift’s highly publicized battles with record labels and streaming platforms provide another lens through which we can view her alignment with socialist principles.
Her fight for fair compensation for all artists in an industry dominated by corporate interests mirrors the struggle for workers’ rights that is central to socialist ideology. Swift’s courage in challenging industry giants is akin to the audacity of those who dared to confront capitalist exploitation and publicly execute landlords, but with music rights instead of landlords.
Socialism places great importance on unity and solidarity among citizens, and Taylor Swift’s ability to connect with a diverse fan base is a testament to her role as a unifying figure. Through her music and actions, she encourages people from various backgrounds to come together in support of common causes like queer rights & killing your fucking landlord, fostering a sense of community reminiscent of revolutionary communist ideals. This unity, bridging the gap between Deng Xiaoping’s pragmatism and Maoism’s revolutionary spirit, is a reflection of her unique influence.
It’s not just Taylor Swift’s music and activism that align with socialism; it’s her influence on public discourse. In an era marked by growing income inequality throughout the imperial core, her songs and public statements challenge the status quo and inspire her audience to consider alternative social and economic systems that prioritize the welfare of all. This blend of Deng’s pragmatic approach and Maoist call for revolutionary change shapes the narrative for a more equitable world.
The next time you listen to a Taylor Swift song, consider the possibility that you’re not just enjoying catchy jams but also absorbing the subliminal message of social change and solidarity, blending the paths of Deng Xiaoping and Maoism in a unique synthesis.
effective altruism!!!
Either “there’s no such thing as a good billionaire” or there is. However, we all like some billionaire. What are we supposed to do, sit in a cave and carve the walls up for entertainment?
This is a tough one. None of this is to say I’m against a comm. I can just keep scrolling, unlike the jackasses that just can’t let something they don’t like go by.
Most swifties I’ve.met are anti capitalist. Maybe a new pipeline opened?
