i could rant about this forever, i dont care how it is called, i just want everybody to work together, sharing the resources, to make a better world for everyone.
while capitalism is just everybody fighting for themself, trying to greedly obtain as much stuff as possible, trying to make their own lives better as first, constantly looking for the next grift to get more.
everybody has been scammed by some lie that competition is needed. Or that rich people are needed.
These propagandized individuals are emotionally manipulated to hate communists and see them as dangerous by capitalist institutions, but they are in no way, shape, or form exposed to the ideas that communists express in an impartial manner.
I'd argue that it is rare that understanding is properly conveyed through labels. People attach their own understanding to labels - and these propagandized individuals are conditioned to believe they understand communists, but in reality they are just trained to dehumanize and hate communists. They don't understand.
So, how does this dynamic shift?
What seems to work best is being honest, consistent, and up-front about our views. We must never tire of explaining the same basic concepts. When orgs try to distance themselves from socialist countries, or labels like "communist," they come across as dishonest when their views are exposed, backfiring.
When the conditions of capitalism and imperialism decay, more and more of the working classes become less opposed and more open to socialism and communism. Our job is to try to bring these newly radicalized people to proper orgs and proper study. I made an intro Marxist-Leninist reading list for just such a purpose.
Pretty much yeah
