And I thought I was making some progress telling her about the innovation under socialism, definitions of economic systems, and so on. She’s a doomer anarcho-pacifist btw. She has been wasting hours of my life recent by constantly texting and not really listening to me.
Just avoid talking about politics to your aunt so you can preserve your friendship. You obviously care enough about her to respond to her texts so find stuff to talk about that isn't conflict.
If you want her to believe in socialism ask her to join in your activism. A lot of activism can recieve help from anyone with working legs and arms. That's probably not even needed either. For example - she might have a printer.

To let things slide for the sake of peace and friendship when a person has clearly gone wrong, and refrain from principled argument because he is an old acquaintance, a fellow townsman, a schoolmate, a close friend, a loved one, an old colleague or old subordinate. Or to touch on the matter lightly instead of going into it thoroughly, so as to keep on good terms. The result is that both the organization and the individual are harmed. This is one type of liberalism.

Nope, haven’t posted there since a futile attempt to get more people to leave for Lemmygrad a few months ago.
oh god don't bring them here too.. let lemmy.ml filter them first!
😆
There's no point trying to explain political concepts to those who don't wanna hear. You're wasting time and resources that could be better spent elsewhere. Let her have it.
it's worth a shot, drop the seeds on the ground and if they start to take root then water then, otherwise move on
