All I was really looking for was what was true, no matter how many layers I had to peel away or what I might find. I came to it only after decades of finding other explanations lacking. What other scientific socialisms are there, and do they have anywhere near the explanatory or predictive power that historical materialism has?
And the answer is none. None more red
I’m also glad that I became a communist.
Being a non-communist was hell for me, even compared to the worst “lows” of my communist days.
Everything magically got better when I became a communist.
…I’m… honestly being serious here right now.
I’ve met a lot of good comrades, and falling into commie shit kept me from nihilism and other anti-human ideologies
Anti-humanism sucks.
On the one hand its nice to have a coherent ideological framework
On the other hand I am jokerified
Yeah, it’s half “I actually have a grasp of this stuff and am no longer flailing around in the dark.” and the other half is “oh god, the people around me are so smug and proud about flailing around in the dark and would sooner cut out my eyes to force me to join them than actually turn on a light themselves.”
I always compare life before studying the eternal science to that feeling when you forget that you left the fan on over the stove. There’s just this nagging anxious feeling that doesn’t go away. Then when you shut the fan off there’s still a mess in the kitchen but atleast you can fucking think!

Excellently put. That’s exactly how it feels. This strange sensation of wrongness
Well we’re glad you have become a communist too
Good see another person swelling the ranks.
The more the merrier, as I always say.
Me too, it helped explain the world and made me realise the solution. It made me more positive.
It’s called being based OP, and it feels good to be based. Based is how you feel inside.
I’m also glad you became a communist. 🥰
I am as well. Took a lot of breaking away from the anti-communist propaganda but I’m glad I did.
Happy to be on the right side of history
Happy cakeday!
thank you!
np!
And we’re glad you’re allied with us. Welcome, my brother, sister, or non-binary sibling.
Me too 😃
It’s indeed much better.
I already had a good grasp on reality before becoming a communist by looking at things more scientifically, but having a proper understanding of and giving more emphasis to class struggle was a huge boost to my understanding of society. It was also nice knowing there were ideas/systems more advanced than what I had come up with as pretty much nothing that came out of pro-capitalism writings and media was any good.
