Fellow American Comrades, how were you able to overcome the liberal propaganda? (lemmygrad.ml)

I grew up in a conservative American family and was indoctrinated with chauvinistic beliefs from the beginning. It took me years of studying political science and economics just to warm up to leftist ideas, let alone embrace them.

Finally, I decided to read “Dialectical and Historical Materialism” by Stalin off a recommendation from one of my professors and it really changed my entire interpretation of the world. That started me down a path of reading any Marxist literature I could find.

I’m curious about the path that the rest of you took to get here!

Liberalism to me was always a carbon copy when I seen it to conservatism. At a young age I immediately stepped over it towards anarchism, then later Marxism-Leninism. It's hard to be mindful of liberal propaganda if you don't know what to look out for. Becoming an anarchist didn't protect me from it, but becoming an ML did. I unlearned subtle liberal propaganda and once I understood the difference between a liberal view point and a communist one, I began remaining vigilant of all forms of liberalism that I seen around me and either ignored it or called it out.

The first step to avoiding liberalism is knowing it, then remaining vigilant of it infecting your worldview & calling it out when able or worthwhile.
