    she's a child? you fr? she's not a "lost cause," she'll likely change her political beliefs wildly a couple more times over the course of her life.

    people who call themselves leftists need to abandon the idea that debate creates new leftists. like you can tell a lot of people here are ex-internet-atheists because of the fetish for Facts and Logic. in rare cases you might give someone something to think about if they were already having some doubts about the present order and you address those specifically, but the only way to convince someone that communism is the way is to show it. live your values, nurture and act upon a love of humanity and hatred of authority. Unless your communist values include sanctimony and intellectual elitism in which case just be a trot.

      She’s 28. She lives in fucking Texas so she’s seeing material conditions fail all around her but US propaganda has convinced her everywhere outside of the US and Europe is an utter hell hole. I’ve shown her stats about how things in China are going but she doesn’t believe them. She’s gonna be a Hamilton lib till the day the MAGA squad comes to her door.
