Most working class people are not at all happy with the status quo, if we can present them with answers and solutions, show them what capitalism and their government is (nationally and internationally), what their own position is within society, that can push them more and more left so to speak.

I don’t think there is a straightforward broad strategy to make people aware like this, I think every communist needs to understand their own local people and plan in accordance to that, or in other words, the political conversion process is subjective not objective.

For me, the failure of Labour to do really anything to change the circumstances of living in the UK made me move away from the mainstream moderate left western views. In simple terms I just recognised, this is not working. I was never gonna go to the right or the enlightened centre and so it was either political nihilism or investigate more throughly ‘this socialism stuff’.

Once I became some Green Party, tax the rich, SocDem type of guy, I recognised I could still remain open-minded rather than merely, naïvely assume this is what is needed to fix my country.

So I checked out anarchism and Marxism-Leninism - it’s worth mentioning I had a lot of propaganda deprogramming to do, and that is hard to push through, I think it’s a major barrier for many people who have been told all their life how supposedly evil these movements are - but here I am, now an M-L communist (I found it more logical, moral and factual than anarchism), still learning but knowing enough that I can’t see myself committing to any other political movement. I wanted the truth, I wanted a solution, I wanted hope, and I believe I have found it.

We need Stalin AI edits of whatever the present day viral meme is, imagine how many new comrades we would have if Stalin said ‘six seven brain rot slop we are charlie kirk’
