    Even if you convince everyone of the truth of Marxism, a small reminder is that all militaries in the world are controlled by ruling classes, this includes all nuclear weapons. Also, people lived under feudalism for a thousand years, while capitalism is still just 200 years old and far more dynamic than feudalism. Not trying to doompill you, but trying to make you realize that the solution isnt simply "convincing people". Although that is a major step, there are many more steps that are even harder.

      Thoughts like this fuel my despair. When I was a liberal the thought of traveling back in time and getting stuck in medieval Europe sounded like my idea of hell on Earth. Now that I'm a Marxist I actually get to experience that feeling every waking moment of my life.
