Sorry if the title is a bit weird, I’m curious about what made you believe what you do. Mainstream leftism usually doesn’t go any further than trans rights or maybe UBI in some places, at least from what I know, so what made you go beyond that? You can answer generally or talk about a specific belief, just wanna see what caused the more radical opinions in you

I’m particularly curious about what changed your opinions about the USSR and China, most people think they’re awful, but in here they’re really liked and defended, I’ve even seen a lot of posts denying the Tiananmen massacre and the Holodomor and stuff like that, what made you go to such lengths?

    my communist grandpa lost all his arguments with my lib debatebro dad when i was growing up but then i found cth and it had the right vibes so i went and read lenin and realized that my grandpa had been proven right post 2008 and that i had been groomed to be an anticapitalist sleeper agent since i was 2

    also listened to way too much immortal technique for the longest time, agreed with everything he said but could not for the life of me connect the dots until i realized that there were other communists in the core

    ALSO in high school i could go to the local bookstore franchise and pick up like three different prints of mein kampf but there were ZERO copies of lenin around

    barnes & noble is a fascist propaganda front
