The most I get from my close friend when I ask them about anything political (Gaza, Climate change, etc) is a "wow" or "damn".
With my family members it's a literal "I don't care about politics" or "talk to [insert random distant relative name], he knows all about this stuff"
How can I make them care? How can I convince them that this stuff is important and shouldnt shrugged off so easily?
How can I convince them that their boss cutting their wages in half is an important matter that shouldn't be justified by some abstract notion of "that's just how it is"?
There are two groups of people worth a damn in terms of politicking at them;
Those that have concrete conditions in favor of radical change (like say, a Black person whose not getting hired anywhere due to felony acquired as an impoverished teen). (Most exploited proletarians and poor peasants, nationally oppressed peoples)
Those that are genuinely curious to understand and overcome the conditions of our time. (People like Engels, Mao, and Castro who came from high privilege but dedicated themselves to science and humanity: Revolution).
Anyone else is not going to ask questions and look for answers until they see their Doom on the horizon, but it's too late for them if no structures setup by the 2 groups above have been built.
What does that mean? Build with who you have right now, be ready to accept power when that third group has nowhere else to go.
