Hello, baby Marxist here!

Personally mine was reading.

When I was a liberal I loathed reading and found it hard to even read a short article. I rarely researched everything I heard, and as a teenager, I was like every other liberal, getting my news off social media.

Now I make sure to research everything, however, getting into theory is a bit hard. Most of the information I learned about communism was through fellow comrades, because like before, I got my information from other people’s comments.

Currently I’m restoring my motivation for reading by starting small. Reading long comments from comrades helped a lot. I’ve now moved on to reading information from leftist sources without effort, and I’m starting on reading the communist manifesto.

Enough about me, what were your side effects?

    Are we telling on ourselves?

    I glorified the military and would get into arguments about how we should have continued the Vietnam war, how nuking Japan was necessary, how much of the world should be begging us to invade them. I was a climate change denier, a creationist evolution denier, was pro choice, chuavanist and bigoted in every conceivable way, and I voted for war criminal John McCain in 2008.

    I knew that someday a time would come when I was called on, just as every patriarch in my family had been, to defend the empire and save the world and I was desperately ready to asnwer that call. (Talk about colonial trauma amirite)
