OKComrade: The Radical Left’s
Amazing Answer to OKCupid
If you’ve ever perused OKCupid
and been sickened by the masses of bourgeois scum, you’ll be delighted to hear
the latest innovation in anti-capitalist dating: OKComrade.
After the eviction of Occupy
encampments across the country in late 2011 robbed many of a good place to
schtoop in grimy tents, the radical scene has been in dire need of a place for
radicals to engage in amorous relations.
OKComrade, currently only a
Facebook page, encourages users to post pictures and a brief description of
themselves.
According to the Huffington
Post,
There are a few rules: “No
Sexism, no racism, no heterosexism, or transphobia.” But according to their
Facebook page, you’re basically welcome to join so long as you aren’t “a dick.”
Of course, like most radical
politics (and the rest of the world, I suppose), the page is woefully dominated
by dudes.
One grown adult decided to
stand out in the crowd by posting this:
Fortunately, the site doesn’t
get caught up in inter-leftist conflict: all brands of communists and
anarchists are welcome. Though let’s be honest, they’d probably be better
off by banning anarcho-capitalists.
One user wrote:
Post-sexual humanist art lover
seeks comrades to discuss equality and maybe even butts. Local to Philadelphia.
And another:
I am a 25 year old unemployed
nihilist who refuses to perpetuate the repressive corporatist plutocracy by
engaging in work or so-called “higher” education. Sadly, because of western
propaganda, most people consider this existence to be “nonproductive”. And so I
turn to the Internet to find my perfect match.
The page, created only 11 days
ago, now boasts over 4,000 likes. 3,190 of those are from this week alone.
While the project is currently
only on Facebook, the creator noted that they were currently working on a site
and an app.
I suppose if you didn’t go to
a university frequented by disillusioned
anti-capitalist hipsters, OKComrade will prove to be an invaluable resource
for meeting people.
