I just want to learn about all of our nice comrad on lemmy so where did you first learn about communism and when did you became a communist ? Personaly it was communist memes and something funny is that the Stalin did nothing wrong meme became more and more accurate as time went on but one that did not become more accurate but became less and less true is the Starving in communist country . Thanks in advance and sorry for the english !
Was a centrist / lib until college, then read Zinn’s peoples history of the US, and destroyed the myth of the US ever being anything remotely worth looking up to. My fam are mostly factory workers / have menial jobs, they work constantly and are always poor and struggling, and after I started working I felt extremely alienated. Nothing I was doing was worth any value, and not solving any real problems that most needed solving in the world.
Finally got over the anti-communist hump and read everything I could from Marx, Engels, Luxemburg, Lenin, plugged into some local activism, and went on from there.
