I feel the need to thank you all for providing a ML space to read theory and get my news from. I’ve realised that had Lemmygrad (and adjacent spaces like Prolewiki, Tankietube and Matapacos.dog) not existed, not only would I still be a liberal, but I would also have gone mad from not understanding a damn thing of what is happening right now in the world.

Granted, I still need to improve (Still haven’t joined a party, still hide the fact I’m a communist to friends) but I’ll work on that.

Also, about my parents being left leaning: I was very wrong. My father is literally a liberal politician^TM who believes in european supremacy, while my mother just tags along. The former has very confused knowledge about Gramsci, and believes the fascist EU is the pinnacle of democracy (“why else would Africans die to reach us” and other instances of colonial mentality); I don’t think I’m capable enouth to make him change. The latter is otherwise not into politics, and I might have made her interested in communism, but I’m afraid I’m not well equipped to satisfy said interest; I’m not a good divulgator and lack the knowledge needed.
