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 !

    I grew up in poverty in a small town in the country surrounded by rich people with swimming pools and mansions, went to state school while they went to independent/public/private schools, so I was always aware of inequality and that this system surely didn’t work.

    Learnt more about communism in high school when we learnt about the USSR when I was about 15. Obviously as a British school it was very biased but I found the underlying thought made a lot of sense to me. Did a bit of vague reading but it wasn’t until this year (at 23) that I started reading more literature and taking it more seriously.
