Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

A community for comrades to chat and talk about whatever doesn't fit other communities

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!

This also by the way is why the fascists are eating the Democrats for breakfast. "Your pay is garbage because you are competing with illegals" is a much more compelling argument than "there's nothing wrong with your pay, actually"

Democrats are so ridiculously out of touch that you have to stand in awe of how they cling to Obama era lingo while the Republican Party has morphed into a literal white nationalist movement.
