Don’t be shy, tell us about yourself! :D

I remember my days of middle school. It was really quick, especially because of COVID. 8th grade ended early. First two years did feel a bit slow though. What were your experiences in Middle school?

    Tbh I’d be pretty impressed by someone that is or was a marxist in middle school through their own individual accord, and by that mean a genuine marxist who isn’t just memeing to the USSR anthem. I knew next to nothing about actual politics until I got into my 20s (thanks USA education system).

      Middle school is like 8th grade? (Sorry, this country’s school system was different.) I was starting to get into marxism at that age. Honestly, I did start out as liking the aesthetics (music from the USSR and the DPRK is still a very big interest of mine), but my intent was genuine, I wasn’t there for the memes.

      Though, my takes on certain issues back then were very cringy, and I failed at reading theory because it just didn’t fit into my 8th-grader brain. And also I thought /r/communism on the Reddit was a good source for theoretical discussion… And besides, looking back, my material conditions were too comfortable to truly “commit” to marxism, if this makes sense. It was not until a few years until I actually got serious about it.

      Back then, my big dream was to permanently move to the DPRK… xD
