Sometimes it feels almost pointless… if I say I’m a communist to a random person, I inevitably get “well what about Stalin and Mao”, and I either have to 1) have patience to talk for an hour about why Stalin didn’t eat babies and was good actually, or 2) be incredibly snarky about their political heroes and leanings. We should always strive for 1, but its easy to lose patience.
If you can, try to join a communist group in your area so you don’t feel that all your political discussions are on a grade-school level.
For me it’s not frustrating because the discussions are low level or whatever. As a person who loves humanity, it’s like seeing the “soul of man” (yeah, I’m spiritual in that way) ripped apart in slow motion. It’s like humanity is sinking into the darkness for me. This is why I’m often reduced to tears when I hear about stuff like Cuban doctors, because the light that comes from socialism, so warm, so filled with kindness, so filled with strength against the darkness of Empire, represents the best of humanity.
