Hi, I have a question that I can’t find any one else talking about in the texts/posts I’ve read so far.

I’ve been thinking that if everyone is capable of being brainwashed by capitalist realism, save if they have in some way picked up on communist ideas, they could be being anything on the right side of the political spectrum. To me, it seems, staying in a traditional country, conservatism is coded in reality, just like in some non-traditional countries, liberalism is more likely to be found (sorry if I’m being simplistic, I am of course open to explaining this further).

To relate with people in neoliberalism, where nobody is benefitting except the upper castes (also known as oppressor castes here), one must either align with conservative or liberal values?

But praxis also involves taking radical steps in daily life, organising, informing, educating. Is there anyone who has written about this from the point of view of how someone who has been “radicalised” can align their views more relevantly, to relate and to a better job at praxis? What do you comrades think?

      Penitentiary facilities here are overcrowded to no end, so putting people in harm’s way does not bode well, nor does the militaristic policing in destitute conditions follow the rule of law. So, it’s an entirely different problem in underdeveloped, caste-ridden countries.

      But there is hope for some sort of collective understanding because “brr we’re following no rules” also opens up for a social cohesion against “the Big Other” that is perceivable here (everywhere?).
