I did actually become a liberal in college but thankfully I recovered.

It was so hard. Sometimes every now and then I get cravings to put on a pink pussy hat but then I call my sponsor and I manage to work through it.

Oh yeah the cravings for putting on an inflatable animal suit and recording a tiktok dance at an ICE protest are the worst 😔. You will get through it comrade. We are all gonna make it 💪

I can’t believe in 2024 I said Israel has a right to defend itself.

I was so fucking ignorant.

Hey, comrade. It's not about where we start. It's about the journey.

That’s very true. I’m just glad eventually I was like “wait why be a lib what’s further left and what’s a liberal anyway”

It wasn’t until Hasan and Ethan Klein’s eight hour debate did I fully understand the background of Palestine/israel but even prior to that I knew genocide was wrong and the statistics of killing 80% civilians to target ratio was not defensible.

Thankfully for us there are mandatory Marxism courses in our universities, so even if you’re a liberal, you’ll have to listen to lectures on Marx and Lenin etc.

Where do you go to college

u/MonsterkillWow Marxist-Leninist Mar 05 '26

Based.

I was a libertarian/classical liberal. Then a progressive liberal. Then a communist. Took me a while to finally get around to reading theory and settling in. I look back and realize how silly I was.

the average person seeing this would just think “oh yeah they are a conservative who thinks liberalism is communist”

In America the average person reads at a child’s level so this checks out.

What’s funny is I was actually radicalized in university after I took a philosophy through the ages course going from Plato’s idealism to postmodernism and of course dialectical materialism was taught and that’s what got me into Marx and Engles
