    It is better to acquaint people to the contradictions between the reality and the rhetoric of their own liberal democracy because you have the material conditions on your side. Part of the difficulty in convincing people to change their views about the USSR is that you can’t witness it yourself and the non-stop bourgeois propaganda means the waters of the discourse are very muddied.

    Edit: get them to read Blackshirts and Reds
