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?

    This attitude is why people hate communists.

    Nope. People hate communists because they are taught to hate communism. I’ve never even met a communist in real life (in my country)

    The majority of people are not “wildly ignorant” about how much capitalism sucks,

    Not about “how”, but about “why” and that’s the key point. The opposite of ignorance, to me, is not a subconscious awareness of a problem, but rather knowledge of the facts and root causes of it.

    If I’m arrogant for believing that my ideology is correct, I think its safe to say that anyone who believes any ideology is arrogant, and in that case communists shouldn’t be hated more than any other ideologue.

    Your comment seems like a strange leftist version of virtue signalling tbh. Calling out a supposed injustice without giving more than 3 seconds of thought to it nor any proposed solutions.
