I hate to be rude to these people, but you start talking about Actually Existing Socialist Countries and all of sudden you feel like you're talking to a libertarian who hates prisons. And I'm like have you read any of these... and its like nah.

That's why I often don't really suggest Naomi Klein and Bullshit Jobs because they are great points of entryism, but they just give permission for westerners to still have no historical understanding of the world around them. Spouting off about Totalitarianism.

I had a friend like this and introducing them to the right podcast based on their music tastes was the nudge that they needed.

They got into some anti-thatcher-action sort of music so I steered them towards more radical takes on colonialism.

I like this strategy. I too often suggest podcasts, but how do you align their musical tastes to the podcast?
