Explain your political progression. I'll start with mine, I live in the US for reference.
>I started off as vaguely conservative when I first starting learning about politics (was really into the whole "competition drives innovation" type thing). Didn't like feminism and what I thought was political correctness gone mad. Was christian (still thought shit like noahs ark was retarded though).
>Grew out of Christianity and as a result became disillusioned with a lot of the republican messaging.
>Became friends with a group of guys that were very right wing and slowly realized they were completely retarded which drove me away from being a republican.
>Became a democrat still heavily pro-capitalism of course. Very destiny style liberal with some reactionary tendencies
>Don't remember why but started looking into fidel castro and realized that he wasn't nearly as bad as everyone said he was and actually agreed with a lot of his ideas.
>Read "Principles of Communism" and heavily resonated with it.
>Spent a couple years still as a lib but with sympathies to communism, didn't fully understand it and disagreed but didn't outright hate it like 99% of liberals do.
>Around 2018 started to feel alienated amongst liberals, it's difficult to explain but I felt like I *cared* about things while liberals did not, they would act like they cared but they didn't really give a shit.
>Finally got around to reading some of capital and dove deep into a lot of online communities
>The rest is history
What about you guys?
Working for a shitty small business owner (landscaping) during the first Bernie campaign
>>2823294Process of elimination. I didn't like cons, libs, or fascists. Anprim sounds nice, but it's infeasible, and we've destroyed the world, so the "only way is through," which leaves socialism or some weird techno-libertarian stuff, and the latter is transparently a madeup thing for billionaires, so I guess it's up to communism to show some alternative. Not a great showing yet.
Right-wingers, no further explanation needed.
I went from libertatian to social democrat bernie bro
poor amerikkkan, father went to war & never forgave himself for what he did but also never managed to fully own up to it, have had to work since high school to help keep my family above water, everything is horrible & i really like to read
theres an ancient screencap from a thread like this back from like 2017 or so that was me lol i think it was like 'capitalism destroys families'
>>2823294I saw too much injustices in my country and in the world. I discovered it and thought that it's just great.
I am not a communist but i like lots of the things they did
started working doing odd jobs at 11. I read a lot, in general, and from history you learn about all these communist revolutions, so set out to figure out why. then i ate a cactus when i was 19 and decided to join a local org.
>>2823294Nothing "made" me be a communist. I have eyes and ears and ever since I was a child I was some form of socialist. I thought it was a novel idea, cause nobody seemed to talk about it. Later I found out that the thing has a name and other people do agree.
I can proudly say that I have never ever had a right-wing "phase", nor was I liberal/conservative first then became communist. I think lesser of people who came from the right. Obviously I respect them, and recognize them as comrades. They just need to work harder to prove themselves. How can I know that this isn't just another phase and that in a year they'd be making a thread on Stormfront asking how they became Nazis and say they used to be a communist?
>>2823294I come from a left wing family with an immigrant mother, we started off working class (altho my father's family was in denial) but as the ages went on we got somewhat richer, when I went to university, I just saw how much rich people looked down on me for simply existing, rich people would befriend me and then leave me like a little shit when they learned about my background. Make up weird shit about me. Made me see the class war in reality, I also saw the rest of my family's life decline because of capitalism, my grandfather dying in a shitty hospital because some liberal took away the funding for healthcare. I'd say I'm a communist because thats where I'm the closest ideologically, but every communist I meet is some bougie kid with no idea what the world and is obsessed by the most random of microcauses, and who obviously, as always, look down upon me. I honestly feel a bit politically homeless.
>>2823294I became a commie mostly by accident. Essentially, when I was 17-18 I started reading a lot of philosophy and started developing my own "philosophical" system, which was really just an ontology of the individual based upon an ecclectic recollection of various works.
During that time, I was searching for authors with similar ideas to mine and stumbled upon some book made by a marxist author about the individual and alienation.
After reading that, I thought that marxism was essentially a philosophy about alienation, so I started reading more of it and once I had realized that this wasn't the case I had already been convinced by most of the other theories.
I wouldn't say I'm a complete commie though because I have a lot of heterodox thought and reject some major premise within Marx. However, I agree with historical materialism and a structural interpretation of marxism so that's that.
>>2823294voted trump in 2016, due to basically not being very educated and disappointed with obama (I was old enough to be aware of his 2008 campaign, occupy wall street, debates over the iraq war, though I could never vote for him). I remember being torn because I knew my parents would not be voting for trump. They are the sort of decently well-off liberals that only despise trump (and still do) mostly because of his outrageous vulgarity and have never expressed much ideological opposition to his policy. I feel certain I would have voted for Bernie had he been option, because I liked him for many of the same reasons that trump seemed to represent. I very quickly became disillusioned in Trump's first term as he engaged in a bunch of neo-con shit that I felt like I had been voting against when I voted for him. I sort of became the bitterly apolitical type. I vowed not to ever pay attention to politics again because nobody does anything to help you and they all lie. Just vote blue no matter who every 4 years and ignoring everything otherwise, they might suck less and that's what the rest of my family does anyway. Eventually my natural curiosity lead me to left-wing politics. I think it's sort unavoidable to discover Marxian theories if you're a person that feels driven to understand the forces at play in the world. Any kind of reactionary sympathies I had couldn't really stand up to my hunger to understand and learn more about the peoples and cultures of the world and their histories and perspectives.
>>2823294Small capitalists
I went from liberal to leftist to leftcommunist. Liberal because my parents are liberal. Leftist after discovering the OG leftypol while browsing 4chan. Leftcommunist after someone told me to read Bordiga. Further reading of Marx after reading Bordiga solidified my politics.
Apolitical › Reactionary › Socialism
Political form is Anarcho-Syndicalist Platformism
Economic doctrine is that of Marxist third worldism and anti-imperialism + Henryk Grossman's Crisis Theory.

>notice how every just and worthwhile cause in the world has suffered immensely as a result of the Soviet Union's defeat

>realize this is true of most 20th century communist states

>become an ML
Im not a communist because I'm not an active member in a communist party, but what turned me into a communist supporter was the experience of extreme poverty.
I was interested in moral philosophy and that lead to Marx. In the meantime I was also curious about the DPRK and found out that the hysterical news about it were fake. Before that I was largely apolitical, I've always hated unfairness and fake news so it was a natural conclusion I think.
>>2823294>what made you a communistJoining the party obviously
>>2823294I'm Russian. This should be enough to explain it, but for some reason those other liberal and conservative people exist.

>>2824790My other thing was a CS Lewis quote about how no human is responsible enough to be a slave owner, the same applies to business
>>2824866Ecclesiastes is really funny, it’s pages and pages of Solomon going “man pussy and money aren’t shit, I’m suffering from success”. It’s also true but I have fun imagining how frustrating it would be to be in his harem and he’s just moping.
>>2823294Immigrant background, through adolescence filled with questions as to why people and the world in general behave in such ignorant and irrational manner where there are clear possibilities to do otherwise. After various detours Marxism was, and still is, the only satisfying answer, both theoretically and pragmatically.
>>2823294I don't consider myself a communist, but I think it was Winston Churchill who said that democracy is the worst system except for all the others that have been tried. Well, the alternative to hanging around communists when talking about politics and what's going on in the world is to hang around with liberals or chuds and that's worse. I was in an ML group but didn't mesh with the general weirdness and crankishness.
But with Marxists you get critical people who are looking at what is driving people to make decisions, and what are the material conditions people face and why is this happening and what are the contradictions present in society and future society. It doesn't run perfectly but it's relative and not (in theory) based in the existential fear of the Big Other (although some MLs construct an imaginary one – ideology) or on a set of universal transcendent truths as laid out by God.
>>2823294Not much of big change, and it was slow:
- A kind of vague social corporatism.
- Culturally conservative/moderate social-democracy.
- Marxist sympathies with third worldist tendencies.
Always throughout had sympathies with the USSR & central planning, was never into liberalism ideologically (in any of its variants).

Somewhat rare situation I think. Started through feminism, had some problems with liberal feminism. I eventually realized that capitalism was the source of all oppression, and so communism seemed to be the natural progression.
Not that I’m anti feminist or anything now, but I don’t think there’s any point in being active in a movement so utterly co-opted by imperialists.

And that’s how I’m a communist today
>>2823294started socdem / left leaning lib in a lower middle class family, naturally evolved more radical with time and the influence of my older brother who was into politics and history, eventually ended on leftypol in the 8chan days and started thinking the soviet enthusiasts and ML had a point (they were the best at arguing at least), and ended up full blown communist sympathizer / tankie
wont really call myself a communist though because I aint part of an org, I'm too much of an antisocial and cynical nerd for that
>>2823294here's mine if any one cares
>born Muslim in a third world country. my family was largely middle class, but this is a third world country, nothing like the west, so still kind of bad
>see widespread poverty as a kid, beggars in the street, women with babies. not to mention the whole state of the country was just dirty and underdeveloped. disheartening to watch so many poor people begging for their lives while my family got to be driven around in a nice car. it used to make my little 5 year old self cry, and sometime my parents would kind of laugh at me >move to the US at age 6. dad starts working odd jobs and night shifts to barely keep us afloat. growing up all the other kids used to make fun of me cuz me and my family lived in a cramped 2 bedroom apartment with 5 of us, and because I had knockoff shoes and cheap clothes.but the difference between America and the home country was so vast, I grew up feeling very comfortable, never really lacked my major resources, and my family wasn't consumerist so we didn't spend on anything extra, so I didn't often care that I didn't live fancy (of course it took a lot of effort from my family just to give that to me)
>first introduction to politics is 2016 election (elementary schooler). don't really know much but am hearing on the news how this trump guy is a racist wants to kick out Muslims, so immediately pick up hatred for him and his republicans.
>continue watching the news over the next few years, and hatred for this retard still remains. but feelings of angst towards things like poverty, injustice, still remain. still feel bad looking at homeless in america, or thinking of the poor back home. of course, I still don't know much about how anything works but I just have this vague idea that the govt should just help everyone, easy as that. >2020 election comes along (middle school age), and now I'm a diehard Bernie bro, still don't know all the ideologies that exist, nor any major aspects of political economy, but the policies he rolls out (free healthcare, free education, free resources) are just common sense, right? why shouldn't we help the underclass
>he loses to Biden, glad trump lost also but other than that remain indifferent. however, the election has inspired renewed interest in politics, and now I'm looking more into this stuff
>I remain a committed economic populist. I continue to research politics, and now that I've started to get into paper trading stocks as a hobby, I can understand a lot of the economic structures in politics,
>learn about how domestic capitalism is fucking the working class. Reagan's neoliberalism, corporate profits, shrinking of real wages, people getting priced out of life. just makes me even more of a diehard progressive socdem who despises the establishment dems
>learn about liberals vs leftist, and decide I'm a leftist, we need mass systemic change. I had always been against the wars of America, but now I'm learning that these wars are intertwined with the very structure of capitalism. discovering that almost all forms opression are tied together even if it doesn't feel like it. (i.e. discovering the superstructure without yet knowing it was called that)
>since I already call myself a leftist, why not go into socialism? start researching more and more, and feel enlightened, communism isn't just muh everyone shares everything or muh government ownership. communism the only ideology that stands against oppression. against imperialist, against sexism, against racism, against exploitation, poverty and hunger. it felt like I had just taken a red pill. all the wars, the death, the destruction, its all connected, its all deliberate, its all because of a few thousand leeches in our wolrd. and now i finally found an actually comprehensive way to express all my viewpoints coherently. and that was thru communism. i felt some initial unease with the failures of AES, but quickly deprogrammed and saw through the propaganda. >>2829796I'm sorry, I don't understand? what do you mean? that America is just like that? if that is what you mean, then I understand why you could feel that way, but be serious bro. America, despite its problems is nowhere near the conditions of the third world. when I said there were beggars, I mean literally half the entire makeup of any given street would just be beggars. in 2016, something like 13.5% of the country was living in extreme poverty. i'm not denying that America has poverty, but its just that I live in a decently well off metropolitan suburb in a wealthier blue state, so even if my family has kind of struggled, I hadnt really
seen all that poverty (like you see in Appalachia) with my own eyes growing up. most of the kids lived in nice houses. only when I researched this stuff did I find out the state of underdeveloped America. but what I was saying was that as a child, it seemed like a rich land, despite my personal status, simply because of the area I grew up in.

And although I'm still an atheist, I'm on better terms with my parents now, maybe because I'm not a selfish, self-hating freak anymore.
i never understood how a person could "become" a communist or a libertarian or a christian or a muslim or a punk or a hippie or any other ideology, like as if an entire mode of thinking and outlook on the world could be something you just decide to put on one day, like it was an article of clothing. i have had the same ideology - my own ideology - since the day i was born and i've never adopted anyone else's ideology or had any interest in doing so. i have had moments where i realized i was wrong about certain specific things and then i amended my own ideology to account for it, but i have never had a moment where i suddenly felt as if absolutely everything that i think and believe is totally wrong and needs to be thrown out, that just seems utterly insane to me.

Very well, where do I begin?
My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. My mother was a fifteen year old French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet.
My father would womanize, he would drink, he would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Some times he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy, the sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament.
My childhood was typical, summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When I was insolent I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds, pretty standard really. At the age of 12 I received my first scribe. At the age of fourteen, a Zoroastrian named Vilma ritualistically shaved my testicles.
There really is nothing like a shorn scrotum, it's breathtaking, I suggest you try it.
