Hi! I am a new leftist and would like to know what approaches should I use when deprogramming/radicalising people. All my attempts so far at getting rid of the anti-communist/racist/sexist/etc brainworms that my friends/family have, have been completely unsuccessful. I know that not everyone can be radicalised into becoming a leftist, but still, what should I do to at least slightly alter the worldview of the people around me? I’m sorry if this is too generic of a question

the fact that i live in poland probably doesnt help, even saying somehting vaguely positive about socialism here makes people think that you at the very least lost your mind lmao

    Frontal attacks rarely work and put people on the defensive, instead focus on ways you can manipulate the echo chamber that capitalism feeds them.

    Regularly borrow their phones and do a bunch of searches for left wing books and content. Go into their social media advertising preferences and add leftist interests. Send them silly memes that normalize leftist ideas. Put parental locks on right wing tv channels. Add a pihole to their internet or go into their wifi router’s settings and blackhole the dns to right wing websites. Go to their preferred porn sites and search for communist versions of whatever they have in their histories. That sort of thing.
