Capitalists can just be like “dude look at this NPR article socialism is bad”

Meanwhile I have to have an extensive understanding of philosophy, history, science, economics and politics in order to justify my worldview.

Sometimes I forget that people don’t have comprehensive world views, and accidentally say something’s CIA propaganda, then have to go through that whole process of explaining how the CIA having fronts and interfering in global affairs isn’t a conspiracy, it’s just reality, and that finding sources about it isn’t the same as finding sources for an 8th grade book report, because it’s the goddamn CIA! Shits exhausting and sucks balls, I just want to be dumb I know I’m right bitch, get off my dick

    Im not a marxist-leninist, yet I catch myself that whenever I argue with someone, I have to end up explaining sociology, and history and stuff... and I end up sounding like fucking Lenin...

        they had to demonize the word "communism" and we've slowly reclaimed "socialism" and to an extent, some are even getting around to accepting "communism", as long as you say you don't start defending USSR or Stalin.

        but "anarchism"? goddamn that's by far the hardest to explain. -_-

        i hate it.
