    Reading r/politics is self-harm. There are a lot of subreddits full of liberals that are right on the cusp of radicalizing and could use a nudge in the right direction. That I've seen, r/WitchesVsPatriarchy and TrollX are both full of libs who are so close to getting it and who need a direction for all of the despair they feel recognizing fully for the first time that the system has failed them, and that it may never have worked in the first place.

        Reversal: If you had my brainworms from a while back you would have quoted Lenin to show that he would support DSA dems lol

        But actually regardless I do think they're good, I think we can have a little entryism on the side as a treat.

          I've been passively following WayOfTheBern since march, they've gotten pretty radical for a subreddit ostensibly about a succdem doing electoral entryism. If nothing else, people saying vote for Biden mostly get laughed out of threads at least

      /r/UrbanHell is also a decent place to radicalize people, surprisingly. Just wait until one of The Bad Countries pops up, then talk about how horribly the U.S. fucked them over.

      Nah, reading r/politics is self care. Gleeful to see libs thinking they’re watching the American empire crumble before their eyes. (It’s not quite there, yet. But it’s fun to watch them think it is.)

        if you don't radicalize them, someone else will.

        To be among the masses and fail to conduct propaganda and agitation or speak at meetings or conduct investigations and inquiries among them, and instead to be indifferent to them and show no concern for their well-being, forgetting that one is a Communist and behaving as if one were an ordinary non-Communist. This is a seventh type of liberalism.

          r/cth has been reporting libs who are so close to getting it since 2017. I'm not gonna hold my breath.

            Libs are not a monolith and some of them actually have flipped over since 2017. Some of my in-laws were mild succdems at this point last year and are now full tankies.

              Yeah I mean there's always gonna be a bunch of people on the cusp of "getting it". Some of them do, and join the cause, and some don't. The ones that move on get backfilled.
