I know a few tricks but knowing how to survive in the muck on the floor of the capitalist hellscape is not really that useful unless you are already in that muck. You'd be better off learning how to stay out of that position.
Liberalism is the one that forced its "ideology" on Vietnam, Korea, Indonisia and Lybia and so many other nations. The "liberal" capitalists are the ones who forced money into parliamentary politics.
Sounds like your dad and your teacher were "anarkiddies" who never read any political theory. If you read like just the smallest amount of theory you realize that socailism isn't about forcing your ideas on everyone else it is about fighting back against the dictatorship of capitalism.

This is not a real person. This redditor is a leftist who is sad that Marxist-Leninists are always pro-soviet. Next you'll post a redditor who is a Fascist that is anti-racism, LGBTQ friendly, Feminist and anti-war and they are upset that nazis are always so anti-democracy and pro-authoritarian.

Because they don't want to get disappeared. Egypt is fucked. sisi read the lies about Stalin and said "Oh lets do that" and now there are tens of thousands of people disappeared over the last decade.
FP is like 3 years behind the story. Pretty sure the moment he began losing touch was when Boris Johnson said "unlimited support" and he actually believed it.
