    Unironically conservative dads are radicalizing their kids by putting them to work and keeping the profits 😂

      To start just encourage empathy, generosity, collectivism, and a desire to learn. Eventually when they start to notice liberal programming just simply debunk it. When they here about billionaires in the news or from peers tell them about how much exploitation, greed, and luck got them to have that wealth. Point out how many better things could be done with it. If you see homeless people in the street tell them about the injustice of the system that brought them there. How there are many homes that they could live in, but the landowners are too greedy to let them. Just frequently talk about social issues in your household and the children will listen and try to understand, because as a parent you’re interesting to them, they might even ask questions. I could go on for a while, but I hope this helpful.

      PS I’m actually a teen and this is what my socdem parents did for me. I’m sure the values they instilled are a major reason why I’m a commie today.

      I’m not a parent but i think it just boils down to giving them quality attention and having good communication with them. For the god of love don’t give them a tablet/phone to keep them entertained when they’re young.

      Encourage reading!!! If my parents weren’t so positive about my love of reading at a young age (including Harry Potter lol) I DEFINITELY wouldn’t give enough of a shit about intellectual endeavors or political awareness. I would be a Bernie Bro AT BEST, probably a Centrist who doesn’t care. Also obviously raising a child like a human being, allowing them to have fun, obv not saying you would do this lol, but for example, don’t force your kids to study Marxism-Leninism at a young age, they’ll resent it

      I’d argue as the kids’ needs are being met regardless of chores the return on those chores is purely or surplus value. Thus it would be exploitation to have them do chores without compensation, but it’s not unfair to have them work in equal relative difficulty for the same wages. To have an accurate coup, the dad’s friend is probably working for the CIA and will soon kidnap and murder him. Then he will marry his friend’s widow.

      Yeah, when it comes to socialism, should be known that it isn’t just wage leveling. Especially early on and without automation, some people will make more than others.

      We’re talking about a difference of the 1% owning about 15% of the wealth (as was the average during the Soviet Union’s lifetime) vs. 1% to 60% (as is the case in contemporary Amerika). Doctors will likely make more than janitors for a long time.

      Wage equalization is a protracted struggle, and a sign of the deterioration of the class structure as income disparity shrinks. It’s a process.

      It’s a common accusation or hypothetical presented by anti-coms: why should a doctor who spent 8 years in school make more than an entry-level job? Well, we’re not talking about immediate wage equalization. We’re talking about workers setting their own wages collectively, and when workers control and plan the economy, we’ll have a far more rational wage disparity. We already see this with profitable worker co-ops that can afford to charge ludicriously low prices for their services yet still afford to pay their employees well, oftentimes far better than bourgeois industries.

    Wait, it’s a joke about capitalism, right? Because the CIA does that right now… under capitalism… right?

      The CIA does this whenever a country tries to establish a socialist government.

      Yeah. There’s variants of this from capitalist parents who do the first part, then follow up with some shit like “then I take half their allowance for taxes, that’s communism baby!”
