That was just the start of my radicalization. I would still be a listless liberal if I had never stumbled into /r/COMPLETEANARCHY, which led me to /r/cth.
No, it's because I managed to get a proper political education. If you want more communists, go out there and teach people about communism. Find out what's wrong in their lives and show them how it's capitalism's fault.
Some people will disagree with me here, but I think being a western leftist, especially an American leftist, is more or less random. The material conditions for an influential leftist organization do not yet exist. People joke about treats, but getting the average American on board with communism is a tough sell while they still have decent quality of life.
My personal belief is that either climate change will upset material conditions enough for the political setting to change, or that America will slowly slide into irrelevance while clinging to neoliberalism.

Probably a bit of both tbh, both those conditions are rapidly developing.
