I would explain but I don't know how.

It's indeed much better.

I already had a good grasp on reality before becoming a communist by looking at things more scientifically, but having a proper understanding of and giving more emphasis to class struggle was a huge boost to my understanding of society. It was also nice knowing there were ideas/systems more advanced than what I had come up with as pretty much nothing that came out of pro-capitalism writings and media was any good.

  1. We figured out that working together makes a nation stronger faster than living under a system that kicks or kills people to the curb that you deem inferior and a threat to your position
    and sycophantically suck up to to people that deem you inferior to their position,
    hoping they won't kick or kill you.
  2. We are disgusted by the above behavior of in one way or another.
    Either the ruthlessness, the hypocrisy or sycophantic behavior of people
    that somehow think are better and more civilized than you.
  3. We followed and notice the disconnected changing narrative
    of a violent political event over time
    and then try to figure out what else you've been lied about
    and notice a running theme of issue #1/2 on a global scale.

Correct me if I'm wrong or whether Im missing something.

I always compare life before studying the eternal science to that feeling when you forget that you left the fan on over the stove. There’s just this nagging anxious feeling that doesn’t go away. Then when you shut the fan off there’s still a mess in the kitchen but atleast you can fucking think!

Excellently put. That's exactly how it feels. This strange sensation of wrongness

Happy to be on the right side of history

It's called being based OP, and it feels good to be based. Based is how you feel inside.

On the one hand its nice to have a coherent ideological framework

On the other hand I am jokerified joker-dancing

Yeah, it's half "I actually have a grasp of this stuff and am no longer flailing around in the dark." and the other half is "oh god, the people around me are smug and proud about flailing around in the dark and would sooner cut out my eyes to force me to join them than actually turn on a light themselves."

Me too 😃

And we’re glad you’re allied with us. Welcome, my brother, sister, or non-binary sibling.

I am as well. Took a lot of breaking away from the anti-communist propaganda but I'm glad I did.

All I was really looking for was what was true, no matter how many layers I had to peel away or what I might find. I came to it only after decades of finding other explanations lacking. What other scientific socialisms are there, and do they have anywhere near the explanatory or predictive power that historical materialism has?

And the answer is none. None more red red-fist

Me too, it helped explain the world and made me realise the solution. It made me more positive.

I've met a lot of good comrades, and falling into commie shit kept me from nihilism and other anti-human ideologies

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago

Anti-humanism sucks.

I'm also glad that I became a communist.

Being a non-communist was hell for me, even compared to the worst "lows" of my communist days.

Everything magically got better when I became a communist.

...I'm... honestly being serious here right now.

Good see another person swelling the ranks.

The more the merrier, as I always say.
