As for people who are politically backward, Communists should not slight or despise them, but should befriend them,unite with them, convince them and encourage them to go forward. -Mao Zedong

    I try Mao, but my brother sends me death threats and it's the only time my dad wants to be able to hit me again.

        My brother attributes what sounds like Long Covid symptoms to a covid vaccine reaction, so he has said he’d kill me if I ever asked him to vaccinate again (we merely asked anyone visiting when our newborn was born, to have the Covid vaccine; he could have chosen not to visit).

        My dad gets so heated when we talk about politics that I know he wishes he could hit me again (we are both Venezuelans, he thinks Chavez basically raped and debased the country).

        I’ve gone no contact with my brother and I barely talk to my dad.

        Just need to add, I don’t actually live with any of them. I’m a grown man with my own house and family lol.
