I grew up in a conservative American family and was indoctrinated with chauvinistic beliefs from the beginning. It took me years of studying political science and economics just to warm up to leftist ideas, let alone embrace them.
Finally, I decided to read “Dialectical and Historical Materialism” by Stalin off a recommendation from one of my professors and it really changed my entire interpretation of the world. That started me down a path of reading any Marxist literature I could find.
I’m curious about the path that the rest of you took to get here!
Pretty long story for me but to summarize it, things don’t add up under a liberal framework.
My journey was something like liberation theology -> narco war in mexico -> leftist alternative in mexico -> lost trust in media -> israel atrocities -> communism
The israeli atrocities and their clear connection with US imperialism was a key part of my radicalization, Abby Martin coverage really helped me.
