I used to be a reactionary and hated Jewish people because I believed antisemitic conspiracies about them. Now I've been reeducated and consider them comrades but I hate Israel for obvious reasons. (hexbear.net)

For the country being a white supremacist settler-colonist state that's doing a slow (now fast) genocide on Palestinians. It's nice to be on the correct side for once, as I used to believe that Israel controlled the USA and not vice-versa, I've learned so much more about the world thanks to leftism. Being a reactionary I was seriously ignorant and in the dark, fueled by dumb ass racist thoughts and a baby's understanding of the world.

Sigh

I think I'm too moralistic for my own good, sometimes.

It's what made me go on my crusade, wrongfully, against Lemmygrad for supposed bias against CPUSA members and the bullying received there before I was banned.

But

At the same token, we need to expand and turn more than just "disillusioned BernieBros" into MLs or Marxists.

If SorosFootSoldier is on our side, then that's better than him being on their side.

Thanks! It's a big reason why I'm in favor of reeducation. If I could do it to myself with just the internet, imagine an actual teacher and programs to put someone through. ofc I'm also in favor of just straight up shooting feral nazis but I think some people can be reached before they're too far gone.

This is true, and again, it's better than we turn the ex-fascists against the actual fascists than have them as our enemies for all time.

Conspiracy Libertarians and such are surprisingly close to Marxists. My Dad was an Alex Jones type "libtertarian" and it created a lot of cognitive dissonance within me. On one hand, these libertarian conspiracy types are the only people in the mainstream talking about the true issues. Calling out the US as a disgusting imperial power, the poor treatment of minorities, ect. A great example of this is David Dees (CW: General absurd bigotry). He was bigoted af, but was still showing up to some of the most hardcore BLM protests where people were getting arrested and burning shit.

They may have abhorrent conclusions to the world they perceive, but buy and large they actually do percieve the same world as us. Being a communist was a far easier jump for me as a child than being a normal lib ever was.

I know what you're referring to; I grew up with a lot of libertarians around me.
