How do people deal with left-leaning liberals that see that capitalism is leading to the inevitable destruction of human society, even recognize Israel is committing genocide, and other progressive opinions but refute every revolution or revolutionary action. The “communism won’t work because human nature”, “the USSR was communist”, “(Stalin|Mao|Castro) killed x million but the US killed 5,000 in industrialization”, state dept. parrots. How do people talk with those that get so close but refute any praxis. I know this topic has been discussed before and links to other talking points would be good.
Educating people sounds like it sucks, really badly. Does it?
Edit: I realise this probably reads like a threadcrap but holy fuck, the incredible stuff you’ve described sounds absolutely exhausting and at times kind of infuriating. Like it’s bad enough that you have to gently lead people by the nose through various hoops until they reach the logical conclusion, but also talking to people at all is like pulling healthy teeth. Big sigh
