As a recently radicalized baby-lefty I’ve been thinking about this a lot

"the idea of a “moment” of radicalization is liberalism and connotes that people need this singular moment of experience or persuasion whereby they enter the class conscious state."

fair point, just goes to show that my perspective was influenced by my own experience, thanks for pointing it out because now I'm aware :D

So I guess the real question would be "What's your personal history with leftism?"
