    Merry Christmas!

    My gf gifted me a book about how all people are essentially okay beings. It’s not leftist per se but it makes some decent enough points (sometimes borderline commie). She listened to it as an audio book a while back and in defense of the book it did make her open to many of my communist ideas. It’s like the book helped her push past the ideology of ‘yeah, but muh human nature!’. I’m trying to introduce her to Parenti now as that is a very easy to read leftist author.

    Off to diner with family for the next two days.

      That sounds like a very interesting book! Definitely useful for overcoming that first barrier into communist thought, as many people sometimes forget that communism is not just some artificial economic system, but instead the natural state of being for humanity with our empathy and desire to band together to improve.

      I do hope her introduction to Parenti goes well along with the family gathering! Knowing you I except everyone in your family to be turned communist by the end of the first day haha. But Merry Christmas comrade! Have a wonderful next few days!

        In Dutch it’s called De Meeste Mensen Deugen (Most people are okay). It’s by the author Rutger Bregman. It’s translated worldwide actually and the English version should be called Humankind: A Hopeful History.
