      Yeah I’m barely reading the comment without snoring. I bet its well written, but I could care less to learn about what a “progressive” is and I have no context to understand when people talk about them. Also, after I stopped being liberal it took me like 2 years to learn what a SocDem is. Both are a dumb mincing of words, and they’re both highly effective ways of confusing people who desperately need to learn to abandon liberalism altogether.

        Just say youre a communist. Even if you’re an anarchist tell people you’re a communist. When I was younger and an anarchist I still called myself a communist when speaking to strangers or co workers or whatever when politics came up because i had found that if you call yourself an anarchist you get immediate dismissal, if you call yourself a socialist you get treated like a liberal. If you call yourself a communist you get curiosity and a conversation. People want to know why you’re a communist.

              I get what you mean. For me it’s a fairly private soul searching and an aid in my spirituality. Understanding more about what an all loving world needs to exist. It helps me think about how people should be treated more kindly in certain ways. I’d always felt people are completely worthy in general, and now I think I’m also worthy in ways I hadn’t known. I’m more perceptive to self worth.
