Hi! I am a new leftist and would like to know what approaches should I use when deprogramming/radicalising people. All my attempts so far at getting rid of the anti-communist/racist/sexist/etc brainworms that my friends/family have, have been completely unsuccessful. I know that not everyone can be radicalised into becoming a leftist, but still, what should I do to at least slightly alter the worldview of the people around me? I'm sorry if this is too generic of a question

the fact that i live in poland probably doesnt help, even saying somehting vaguely positive about socialism here makes people think that you at the very least lost your mind lmao

Honestly the best way is also the hardest; get involved with leftist community organizing group(s). They will have tools and structures in place specifically to enable you to succeed in this space. They may even offer training. I dunno what sorts of organizations like that might exist in Poland but I have to imagine you can find something good.
