Good. Leave. I’m indigenous. My roots are on this continent, I’m not going anywhere. If you have the means to leave then leave. Idc. Neither do you. I’m going to organize. I’m going to resist. I’m going to fight.

So I’ve recently listened to The Blowback podcast after they were on The Deprogram, and I’ve experienced some.. feelings.

I started with their season 1, but saw that season 2 was about Cuba so I thought I’d give that a listen first and.. I just finished episode 3 and I’ve started crying in both the previous episodes?!

In episode 2 they describe the revolution and at the end of the episode I was literally in tears. To hear how a revolution succeeded and turned an entire country on its head made me literally cry. Then in episode 3 there’s a voice clip of Castro speaking, and he says something along the lines of “I don’t care about power, I just want what’s best for my people.”

And again I teared up? Like..? Should I increase my meds? Please tell me there are some of you that at least feel the same every now and then?

I'd written on another sub about how from the ages of 16 - 44 I was a right-winger (47 currently). Someone asked how I went from that to Marxist in 3 years time and I wanted to answer, but thought it might deserve a post of its own. Also, I'm curious about what sent the other former right-wingers down this path, because I know I'm not the only one here

Basically, everything I'd spent 19 years working for was going to shit. My perceived “achievements” had become a prison. I'd spent 10 years as a funeral director only to find that the entire industry is a scam. The rent on the house in the suburbs I was living in was jacked up 40% overnight. In the blink of an eye, the true face of capitalism had been revealed to me

The final straw was a news article I read. I was living in Florida at the time. A group of local Dems were trying to get desantis to declare the housing crisis a state of emergency, as this would've made the massive rent hikes illegal…it'd have been considered price gouging. The governor's reply was, “blame Biden”. No, fucker. I'm about to be homeless. Idgaf whose fault it is. I want you, as the leader, to FIX it.

But of course, he didn't fix it. No governor did. No one in government even tried. No one even pretended to try.

If you look at my first two posts on Reddit, you can see how I was right on the edge when I wrote the first, and over the edge when writing the second.

I began questioning everything. You could say, I suffered an existential crisis. Up until that point, the greatest evil in all the world was Marxism. So, could it be that I'm wrong about even that? I decided to begin reading theory to see. And here I am
