Dear European girls,
Beloved Ukrainian co-workers,

I have a marxist longing for you, for you are my class sisters and materially confront me on each work day with your dazzling semblances and beings.
It would be great to fight together with you against our capitalist exploiters, unite our powers and demand better working conditions and continuous pay rises according to the inflation rate. This would be a huge step for our small firm, because right now we are all separated and competing against each other, negotiating all individually our working contracts. This could be changed with the founding of a "Betriebsrat", which is in Germany a sort of a union for the workers in one specific company. Its task is to represent the interests of the workers, negotiate collective agreements with the management and foster the class consciousness of us workers.
Developping class consciousness is the most important step in the preparation process of the revolution, it means that we communists have to educate the workers about their real, objective stand point in this class society, telling them about their gloomy situation as dependent work slaves at the mercy of the bourgeois exploiters and expropriaters of our capacity for work, but also about the possible solution, the dictatorship of the proletariat, which of course cannot be institutionalized without the working masses fighting for their rights and for a better life independent from the big capitalist monopolist enterprises who govern our lives, our "democratic" parliaments and governments and even inside our heads.

Next episode I will speak on the possibility of founding a "Betriebsrat" in our firm. For this task, I would need especially your help and support, Liliya, because I can't do it on my own and don't want to be this impressive man that could stand up at a firm meeting like we have scheduled this week and give a speech to unite the workers and challenge the position of our bosses and supervisors who will try to keep us separate, unorganized and therefore weak. But I don't want to do that if you don't tell me first that you forgive me for all my bluntness and brazenness here and my offensive words I texted to you on Christmas. Please, only when you see me I want to be strong and be a real man, not for myself.

This marxist longing is materialist, because it is natural in my view to look at you two girls and start thinking about possible erotic constellations for the simple fact of having you materially in front of me so many hours of my life.
There is not this one unique soul mate to which we are destined to find and be glued together with. It is all about the material chances, occurrences, even accidents of life and about grasping them, knowing what to do and what you want and how to act.

However, the marxist yearning maybe went a little over the top with this episode for the sole fact that when I see you and hear you so many days and my imaginations begin to spin, then I cannot prevent the feeling of connectedness, fondness and affection damming up in my belly and through one channel or another flowing out.

Please, don't judge me, I only was letting loose the reins (Zügel) of my imagination, describing a possibility that is also frightening and unheard-of for myself, but I had to get it out there so we can all reflect about it. Next episode I will backpedal from my standpoint taken today, but maybe the episode after that will be like a reinforcement and… it might always go on in this dialectical manner. Please understand, dear Ukrainian girls, that you two are too bright and shiny to handle, therefore I prefer to stay quiet and only work on my podcast, giving you this as a gift so you hopefully will always remember me.
But I don't mean to be the only man in your lives, maybe not even to have a real material relationship with this sensual contact and touching, which is always traumatic to humans to feel the body of another individual, according to my great philosophical teacher Slavoj Žižek.
I just want to fill in the manly role and live up to what you two seemed to demand from me, to open myself up and give you an introduction into the German culture. The difference with Ukraine might be that over there the feminist and transgender struggle is not developped that far, and although liberal feminism at its core is a accomplice and ally of capitalism, it still brings some improvements for the position of women in society and hence also for us men who we want to love you women and be equal to you, like working together side by side.
In Ukraine, traditional role models might be in place to a different degree than here. Because on one hand your country had the great socialist experience which strengthened women's right to self-determination and independence from men. But on the other hand, through the counter revolution of 1991, many of those archaic, traditional gender structures may have been introduced anew. So I understand your shy behaviour, always waiting for me to come to talk to you - and it must be said that also German girls are not really different, only the ones grown up in the formerly socialist Eastern German State, the DDR, are a little more self-assured and rebellious to the male dominated societal structures.
But with the annexation of the DDR through the capitalist criminal (it is a crime against humanity, science, reason and against the socialist world spirit to defend capitalism) state of the BRD, all of this ended of course and the good efforts of material emancipation were traded against the in many ways inferior bourgeois liberalism, leaving it open to anyone to become what he or she wants, but not giving us a help on this way and a clear standard, so that the reactionary consciousness and ways of living prevail.

It is so easy to fall in love at work in my experience, because there at work you make a discovery that normally in this liberal life you don't make: you have to work together and cooperate with other people in order to get results and get something produced in the end. Normally, liberalism converts us into competitors, speaking (appealing) to us as if we were all bourgeois with our huge pile of capital and could achieve anything if only we planned individually our lives and got the best out of ourselves – if anything goes wrong, it must be an individual, personal failure, not a societal one. That is because at its core it is a bourgeois state, created and set up for the interests of the bourgeois class and it can only live inside this ideological rule set of liberalism.
However, in work it would be impractical to fight against each other like the bourgeois companies and products do on the free markets of the world. Competition has to be suspended at least for the moment when we, the workers, are producing the goods or services for the capitalist owners of our work.
This point was discussed on a party meeting on Friday, therefore it came up in my speech. My comrades there were saying that at the work place we have a singular situation and a unique chance of appealing to our co-workers, infecting them with the communist world view, hopefully infusing some class consciousness into them. There we could and should agitate, educate and organize the working masses, because in this setting they already day by day experience the necessity of working together and in the best case also find out about how you have to gather and unite in order to achieve something, like maybe in a strike, in a union fight for better payment.
We have to work together, finally the competition ends at the gates of the work place.
Maybe for this reason also I fell in love to the German girl that was working with me some time ago. And with you, Liliya… and now thinking about you, Zoryana, too, but not wanting to fall in love, only letting my mind wander to see what would be thinkable…

Dear girls, I know I shouldn't smoke and shouldn't be this way baked when talking to you because I need to speak clearly, making sure you understand me and understand that there is some irony but also lots of seriousness in my discourse.
In order to become worthy of any girl, I need a little more time for self-examination and reflecting. But I would appreciate it infinitely if any of you two would come to see me so we could talk and forget about the audacious proposals in my podcast, at least for some moments and candidly dive into this lust of speaking and seeing another human being.
I would also like to go to drink a tea or coffee with any of you or with both of you or to show you some parks and beautiful places around here. But this is hard to conceptualize, I don't want to be this man who is acting up, taking all the first steps and seducing you. Therefore I am so insistent that you also come to see my at my workspace. Don't feel pressured, you can do whatever you want, after all, we still live in liberalism at least for now and in the foreseeable future.
