  • It’s so hard to wrap my head around too. I know I grew up around much much more radical folks than your average westerner but still had to get over some internalized brainworms as I grew more mature but I never found it hard to be self critical and have always strove to be able to put myself in others shoes or challenge accepted narratives. On that last part I thank my parents and stepdad for inoculating me pretty well against bourgeois/imperialist propaganda. I remember I got called a lib quite a few times on the old CTH subreddit, but instead of telling everyone else they were wrong and acting smug or superior I dug into their claims and realized “oh shit I have totally been misinformed on or had the most important bits of almost all of history omitted. Fuck me, time to take my ass back to school”.


  • Between that and a lifetime of low wage labor, by the time I started reading volume one I practically skimmed over the first 5 chapters because it all just seemed perfectly obvious when I went through it. If anyone else is trying to read capital but gets bored reading a bunch of simple algebra forms about bolts of linen and wage labor in the abstract because you already have a passing familiarity with Marxist concepts, I usually recommend people skim if not just skip ahead to Chapter 5 cuz that’s where he really starts cooking once his whole economic proof is out of the way.







  • You are the one that cited Falun Gong, which is a weird fascist cult, not me. Also as people have already told you every part of the federal government has had to admit that it was all propaganda with zero evidence. I am done talking to you. You refuse to read anyone else’s sources and don’t even stop to think that the paper owned by Jeff fucking Bezos might not have a vested interest in demonizing China and particularly socialism as a whole. Take your fascist nonsense back to reddit lib.
