They’ll talk for half an hour about university reform but the moment you ask “who owns the coal mines” or “where does the lithium come from” they say they haven’t thought about it then they get mad at me when I say the Nordic model is fascist
I can bait the ADHD ones into reading theory by simply using enticing vocab words but idk how to deal with everyone else
The Socratic method takes multiple hours. I’m complaining about random little conversations with strangers in a gym or bar or whatever. Young people almost always self describe as socialists, but are really social democrats or whatever. I want to convince them to read theory in like a 5 minute conversation. So if I’m at the climbing gym and can tell the other person is a certain type of engineer tech bro, all I have to do is say lumpenproletariat or dialectic or something and they’ll then read whatever essay I send them. That does only work on very specific types of people, most people get turned off socialism forever if you do that.
The only thing you can do to someone in a 5 minute window that will alter their worldview is dosing them with psychedelics.
