I grew up in a household where my father since his college days was pretty much influenced by communism , due to which the time I was growing up , I had a lot of marxist , leninist literature at home , and there were few ussr imported books about communist ideologies ! Few other of my family members are quite communist as well ! So anyone else has similar background ?

    Kinda, my mom's father was a member of the communist party of chile during the dictatorship, he was safe because a comrade went to the party hq and burned all the membership documents saving thounsands of lives.

    During her childhood her home had banned books and a che guevara poster in her room and one time her father was forced to hidden in the forest for a time because the dina was seaching for him.

    Because of this my mother grew up with a positive view of allende and mostly fidel castro and cuba, i remember she also defended chavez and fidel back when they were alive and nowdays does the same to Amlo.

    She is the reason why when i was a socdem i was pro cuba because i knew at least fidel wasnt a sellout like other latam politicians

    I would say she is a pro-communist social democrat.

    But my dad is a pro-pinochet centrist so only 1/2 my family is pro communist
