I've been thinking of creating a thread to help develop ways of communicating general theory to just normal people irl.
A lot of people on the internet are usually doomers that think "the modern prole is brainwashed he'll never achieve class. Consciouaness!", but that is not true. I've meet self-proclaimed conservatives agree with many fundamentals of socialism while not even knowing what the word means.
I think all you have to do is be reasonably respected, use understandable terms, and most importantly, use solid IRL examples they see everyday in their life for reference, because its literally undeniable at that point if they see the exploitation in their own lives.
For example to explain the unnecessary nature of capitalism/consumerism use this:
"Isn't it crazy how there's factories still producing X in the modern day? Imagine how much better the world would be if those factories went towards literally anything useful for society like housing, food, etc".
Or for something like surplus value use this:
"If you think about it, corporate profit is literally just theft. If i produce a X for my company i get payed 20 dollars, but my boss gets a profit of 100 dollars, that means he's taking 80% of my hard earned cash without contributing at all to it, thats literally his only job".

Conservatives rarely pick their political orientation based on individual policy preferences. Right wingers consistently vote for parties whose program they almost completely disagree on case-by-case basis. You cant rationally convince them abandon position that wasnt rational in the first place.
One of the biggest blunders lefties make when it comes to potential recruits is mistaking right winger's discontent with current system as the same as theirs. Conservatives do not want more egalitarian, richer, kinder world, their entire ideology is "fuck you, got mine". When a conservative complains about unemployment or high rent, they dont want politicians to solve it on level of entire society, because rising tide lifting all boats means there wont be any people beneath them. Their politics are reflection of a personality structure more than material interests.
Talk to liberals instead, they usually share the same values as we do, they are smarter, more rational, you can have a conversation with them.
>>2652504>the unnecessary nature of capitalismYou illiterate retards think capitalism exists almost entirely by accident, lmao.
>slash consumerismBruh.
>>2695803>spouts retarded shit>gets proven wrong<OHHHHHH YOU DONT WANT TO DO ANYTHING HUH??????You are literal cattle.
If all that was needed was "raising consciousness" (you don't even know what consciousness means, lol) then all those trots and anarchists annoying random people with zines and newspapers would've achieved communism decades ago.
