I tried to keep the communist language as low key as possible, but I was in a thread I made about what could convince a leftist to vote for Biden, because I’m hearing some reasonable arguments from people I trust and respect. A progressive friend of mine (who’s more left than like say, a Hillary supporter, but not any type of leftist) made some valid arguments about centrism and having to “play it safe” that I won’t get into.
I’ve been dealing with a relatively severe manic episode the past few days, and I just let out a multiparagraph tirade about, “I understand wanting to appear moderate, but I’m fed up with capitalism, liberalism, and people being reactionary fucks. I wish we were already at the point where we could see that the whole Liberal-Conservative sham is what’s keeping us sick, poor, and two paychecks away from homelessness.” I didn’t say anything about the USSR or Castro, but I also implied class struggle and how that should be our goal.
Eh, a pretty active thread with like 10 commenters haven’t interacted in like an hour and a half, I hope I didn’t completely alienate the rest of the people in my life, lol.

This is a good argument tbh. For most libs and cons in this country, that’s an argument that they not only understand, but straight up agree with.
Yeah, theories good and all,ll but those arguments are where you honestly can plant a lot of seeds.
That being said, I hope you stay safe, conrad. In the middle of manic episodes it may be fun, but the come-down can be nasty :heart-sickle:
