Glad you're online enough to have some more self awareness
Might surprise you that not everyone has that benefit and if someone is only 18 or 19 by the time they turn left we shouldn't be playing the "I was here first" game
i dont htink i've ever not been a communist. the first time i read about the stuff was in the contexts of late 1800s-early 1900s strikes and opposition to them and hitler killing communists in camps when i was 12.
Great. But maybe someone growing up in the Ozarks or Appalachia or the High Plains has to deal with more conditioning than you did.
Similarly, Thunberg having a single-minded ecological focus and being surrounded by think-tank and opinion piece liberals who praise her nonstop delays her ability to think critically on the issue.
I'm sure there's someone who was a Communist at 8 years old. Does that make your leftism insufficient or suspect?
no im not saying that. im not american so people dont really talk about communism all that much, positively or negatively. its just so weird to me people go "oh right working sucks and the world/the rich are out to get you at anytime" at age 30 instead of age 14.
Chapotistas at 17: "I love Obama and electoralism!"
