    Today two people people told me that me rambling about communism and leftist theory pushed them more to the left over the last few months. Is this praxis?

      Like 60% of regular working people would become communists if someone they know and trust explained it to them. The other 40% are landlords and middle class reactionaries

        I'll likely get clapped for saying this but this is why having openly socialist / socialist-adjacent people in Congress/local leadership is important. The appeal to authority is such a strong legitimizing force.

          I agree and it’s pretty standard Marxist strategy, Marx talks about using electoral politics as a means for socialists to spread class consciousness in the manifesto

            The key is not to make the mistake that by climbing through the ranks of the bourgeois state we can bypass the necessity of dismantling it. The bourgeois state must be smashed, and electoral work is only useful insofar as it abets that longer term project.

        It's wild how easy it is to get people to agree with the ideas. It's infuriating how carefully you have to avoid the Bad Words
