Furthermore, I consider that America must be destroyed.

    I had a conversation with someone who has a degree in history a while ago, where they were wondering why communists dominate anti-fascist spaces. Even a degree can’t help these people understand the historic and ideological reasoning behind this.

        True, but things are changing slowly with new generations

          Honestly its not even about age, its about where you live, and how much money you have. An middle class worker on the emperial core is a lot less radicalized them an worker on a third world country. Honestly older persons are able to be a lot more radicalised them younger persons. But thats my personall experience, of course.

      Working-class people tend to get it a bit better. Russell Bentley, who by his own admission is just a dude who served in the US army, got disillusioned, and read Ho Chi Minh, says that for him it came down to this: Nazism is on the rise again, and it takes communists to beat Nazis.

      I have a history degree. I had one Marxist professor my whole time there, and he taught African American History (primarily in the 19th century). It was a great course; however, the course didn’t get into any Marxist theory. I really looked up to him, and he was my thesis advisor. The rest of my professors were run of the mill left-leaning liberals.

        It’s fascinating to me how people with history degrees are either Marxist, or lean really hard into western propaganda. There doesn’t seem to be a middle ground.

        Though, I guess it makes sense. You either read about atrocities and long histories of oppression and become radicalized from it, or try to cope your way into not having to acknowledge it.

    How can someone face the truth and not realise it.

    Damn, I wonder why the principled anti-nazi subs are dominated by communists?
