I find it hard to bring people to communism because telling them the truth of our system most often leads them to a doom spiral where fighting back against capitalism seems impossible and that the world is fucked. I feel bad because I feel like all it does is make people depressed. It's too much. People are tired and burnt out from daily life too much to handle it.
Looking back, I'd rather go through the grief of our current reality than live in the false consciousness of liberalism.
It does hurt to see others in pain as they're processing the the truth about how these systems work. It also hurts when they go in a random direction and do something like become a chud because they don't want to be alienated from their family.
I try to remind myself that telling the truth isn't the problem. It's a lot and we can only do so much in this system.
Honestly, I think a lot more people are experiencing another kind of grief than they let on under capitalist realism. Liberalism accepts that some things are just the way of the world, and it's best to simply get ahead as individuals/cliques, numb ourselves to the suffering of others and tend to our own gardens. Given how most people can't even follow the first step adequately, it's hard to get to the second and be able to fool themselves into thinking everything is fine. The problem is that the lack of consciousness (entirely by design) leads people to take... alternative paths.
That's a good point. Leftist ideologies are one of the few that does not believe there are any acceptable sacrifices or injustices. The end goal, however tortured the route, is for everyone, everywhere to have a good life without exception. The anti-communist Christians love to accuse us of trying to "immanetize the eschaton" like their god didn't go out for cigarettes 2,000 years ago.
