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!
i was into the classic “that cultural marxism and the nationalization of my toothbrush sound bad, but i don’t know anything about that jew marx, maybe i should try to read something to have more arguments to refute him…”
later
“wait a minute…that guy marx and engels have pretty good points, everything was a lie…the capitalism was the issue all along this manifesto seems pretty cool!”
and now i’m here
