just a positive example to keep on posting and keep on radicalizing!

    Another good thing is that the youth weren't as exposed to Cold War propaganda as some of the older generation, which makes it a lot easier to expose our ideas

      That and the only people ranting about communism being evil are FOX news and unhinged chuds.

        In my experience, the majority of boomers and gen x to a slightly lesser extent are still really anti-communist.

        From MSNBC libs to apolitical “centrists” to MAGA chuds. (I don’t know any boomers to the left of MSNBC libs).

        I’m sure it’s very difficult to deprogram yourself from all of the propaganda during the Cold War and it’s not like there’s cultural pressure to change their views like we’ve seen with racism, queer rights, etc. (Not trying to imply that mainstream culture isn’t racist, homophobic, etc. just that you’ll get shamed for being really obvious about it).

          Oh for sure but it certainly seems that the general narrative from libs is that it's unrealistic and idealistic whereas on the right it's literally the most evil thing that's ever existed.

            Yea I don’t hear libs saying it’s worse than the Holocaust, but I do see some enlightened centrists saying it’s just as bad (or worse...100 million deaths!)
