Seriously, I wanna fucking leave my house every fucking day. They work everyday, all day and are exploited for their work, have bad health that they have no time to take care of and are so devoted to defending millionaires for “creating jobs” that they cannot accept that what creates value is labour. They hate the government and see it as bad, I agree, the bourgeois democracy is terrible, but when I say that, they don’t believe in it. State owned equals inherently bad, seriously, its so hard to see the truth and ALMOST EVERYONE around you is a chud, a lib or at best a soc dem. And thank god for soc dems here, because at least they aren’t anti-communist, at least some of them. Every fucking time I have to argue with a lib, I want to organize harder

    What socdems?

    Revolutionary social democrats from Lenin’s time? (There was a time, when “socdems” were synonyms for communist)

    That being said, yeah… your parents are a bit iffy… you ever wonder if they have a stake in acting the way they do, because the alternative is just too scary?

    (like yk, westerners like to “hate” their gov’t, but seem to defend it, against its foreign policy enemies all the time; in their consciousness, the western gov’t that keeps on exploitin’ them at least keeps the treats flowin’ in their economy)

      hate the government because it’s objectively bad, but have no empathy for foreigners who they don’t consider human. I really don’t think people actually understand unequal exchange and look at it and decide it’s good.

      Oh mostly just my friends who are left leaning but not radicalized. They’re not very involved in politics, organized socdems are horrible

        All current socdems, which we mainly regard as capitalist liberal-adjacent and thus right-deviationist, are what we call as part of “anti-communists” since they’re more interested in preserving capitalism with safety nets.

        Would you just say they’re just less anti-communist, compared to others…
