Sorry if this question has been asked here before. I still consider myself maybe not the most informed on leftist ideology. I'm curious to hear your thoughts.

While lots of twitter libs are up in arms blaming minorities and the Left for their loss, most average people in the US who are not terminally online do not ascribe to this line of thinking and are hitting the point of disillusionment with Democrats and the two-party system. I have found my liberal friends more open than ever to discussing the problems with American democracy, and have taken the opportunity to help move them toward viewing this framework through a class-conscious lens.

Talk to the American libs in your life about how the Democrats never do what they promise, provide some evidence of why this is malicious, not incompetence. Highlight the fact that abortion rights are perpetually in danger but Dems never seem to be able to do anything about it. BUT when it comes to sending billions to the military industrial complex or wall street they never seem to face any difficulty. Allude to the idea that we don't live in a democracy, but some kind of...dictatorship...yeah. A dictatorship that is ruled by the wealthy, who get to do whatever they want while average people struggle to live. Avoid using big words like proletariat and bourgeoisie, keep things simple and down to earth. There is an opportunity here to move more people toward the left, do not waste it!

Recently there are a lot of people who live in Europe or America from former communist countries in Africa and Asia who are the champions of anti communism

So let me ask you, do you think your life would have been far better in Apartheid South Africa which bordered Communist Mozambique, or maybe Pro west dictatorship that was Malawi which was the most brutal dictatorship in the world until the 90s. Or maybe Rhodesia which was also an apartheid state.

I do sympathise with your family if they lost their lives to an oppressive regime but how do you attribute your family dying to communism when literally every non Communist country that bordered your country was literally a more brutal regime.

I was going to concede to him because there's no use of fighting emotionally charged people, but then he said 'talk to the people who escaped Vietnam' and then I just chuckled and left lol. I was going to sympathisr with him but I realised he is just tripping on that anti Socialist western propaganda

Liberals refuse to put up a real opposition, so us leftists must take up the role. Democrats have shown that they are complete failures, now let's put our money where our mouth is and show them how it's done.

Socialist learning spaces are also seeing a lot of liberals come in who are being radicalized because of the election. Make sure to be welcoming and helpful, even when they are wrong. That's how we build a movement

(Ps it was actually always important to organize the title is hyperbole)

Today Kavernacle released a video titled "why everything is fascist NOW" and although I like the guy this video rubbed me the wrong way. Down in the comments someone was talking about their friend who came to the US at 2 yo and have been living here with DACA program. Apparently he got married and has a daughter, he also has a small business in the states. He can lose all of this if Trump revokes DACA etc. and deports him back to Mexico so this commenter is very angry with US citizens for putting Trump in power.

I personally didn't feel ONE BIT sorry for his friend tho. I don't know if I am wrong here but that's the way I feel regardless. PEOPLE ARE ALREADY LIVING IN MEXICO. More than 6 BILLION people are living in the global south. And they have been subject to imperialism, highest stage of capitalism, aka fascism abroad but much worse. He is not being deported back to Gaza, which his preferred candidate killed more than 200k people in a year. Literally. I have tons of friends and family facing similar threat and I am not sorry for them either. They went to europe, the US and earned very good money there because imperial core is choke full of blood money extracted from the global south. Even if my friend who have two toddlers at home in London was deported, selling his house alone will allow him to not work for 10 years back in our country. My brother is in Germany, he will be back with good money that will set him up 5-6 years forward compared to his peers if he comes back.

Am I wrong to think like this? This guy is fine with fascism abroad but now that it's coming for them they are scared? And I what's up with Kavernacle's video title "everything is fascist NOW"? 6 billion people have been subject to fascism in this world, much worse fascism than what he is talking about. What the hell does he mean by "NOW"?
