    I sincerely don’t understand how anyone can think they are helping the left by doing anticommunism. It doesn’t stand up to any critical thought at all, it functions solely to move things rightwards and reinforce the status quo.

        Realizing that America, NATO, Europe, and all the other imperial states and settler colonial states and all their cronies and hatchetmen weren’t just the badguys, but were staggeringly evil in a way that cannot be completely encompassed by one person in one lifetime was a gradual process that took me like 8 years, and even then I’m still a lib sometimes.
