Ok guys, aside from all the ideological talk… is it not simply tiresome everyday have to deal and interact with people who are so wildly ignorant about the world? Anti-communism seeps into every aspect of people lives to the point where it becomes an inextricable part of their identity, and the worst part – they have no self-awareness about it whatsoever. [I hate to talk like this because practically any other political ideology can just call others ignorant and complain “why isn’t everyone else like me”, but I’m assuming those of you who are here are here because you are like me and there is something deep down in it that has touched your soul such that you are 100% sure that this is the way forward; it’s not an opinion, it’s a conviction, and it comes from within]

So, to put it simply, how do you function in a capitalist society without being a hermit or otherwise bashing your head against the wall all day trying to convince others of the obvious?

    I just keep these views to myself unless asked, and if asked I deliver only in breadcrumbs that I feel a liberal can digest. Never EVER be confrontational about it unless you need to dunk on someone who came after you.

    I’d much prefer to try to get a long with people rather than be alienated. Capitalism is alienating enough when it comes to friendships and even family. It is even alienating for non-socialists.

    It’s important to have close friends and it would be foolish to exclude a potential real friend over matters like the fate of the world, which are out of our control, and lose out on things like enjoying a drink together.

      Also people who see you as a friend will be more likely to value your perspective. If you act judgemental or standoffish people will not be receptive to what you say. Make friends with people and gradually reveal your ideology over time.

      This is the best option for both your own enjoyment of life and your success in opening other people’s eyes to communism.
