I remember I realized I was unironically turning into a communist when I would talk with liberals and say stuff like "don't you think there's deeper issues with stuff like homelessness and poverty? Why would anyone choose that kind of lifestyle willingly?" and the responses I get ranged from hostile to passive aggressive deflection. This was before I read any theory too....."progressive" liberals are really a strange bunch, I remember thinking as a teenager why none of the "woke" progressive people I knew hung out with minorities unless they were really sanitized and white washed, and a very nascent understanding of class differences began to take root in my head. I never saw those kids hanging out with people like me whose dad dropped them off in a $500 van he bought from the junkyard and only spoke Spanish at home and felt comfortable going into the barrio...

If you want to see the mask come off just throw communist agitprop as a brown person at them, most of them will start to show their racism and begin to condescend like crazy or if they're not actually racist they'll show that it's more important to them to stay in treatville while some Mexican guy like my fucking dad as a teenager works 80 hours a week below minimium wage to give them their treats and it's ok because they chose that arrangement
