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.

    That's surprising to hear

    I feel like many understand that they're already fucked, and for me at least, knowing there's a system that has worked and is currently working has given me so much hope

    Breaking capitalist realism was a lifesaver for me

    I used to genuinely want to be a capitalist because I thought that was the only way to thrive
