the majority of people in my area are either lib or conservative and very few are socialists and it sucks so bad because u feel politically isolated. im trying to be a bit more permissive and not get upset when my normie friends say some bullshit i know is wrong but i sometimes go days on end without talking to people about these things and it sucks…
As others have said get organized, join or create a party.
That’s the situation in every area. People usually don’t form inter-class relationships and those who are satisfied with their life will be centrist at best.
Those who aren’t satisfied with their life will look for material relief. Conservatives offer material relief to anyone because they don’t give a shit, they operate on vibes, just like centrists, but they usually lack something to be with the centrists.
And I get it, poor people can be difficult to interact with, we’ve got poor manners, it’s pitiful to look at us and some of us stink badly, our homes are run down, lots of people with deformities and such, it’s probably barf inducing to witness. I’ve thought about it and the main mistake of Rosa and Karl was they should have retreated, let the right wing initiate the fight with center. It is hopeless for me to try to befriend you.
I do not have any friends in my area, so by extension, I have no communist friends (but I get what you mean). My future living situation might also change, so I would be focused on getting a stable job over making communist friends (though I do hate the idea of being surrounded by liberals celebrating the non-Orban candidate like he is pro-democracy).
I have one coworker who has cool politics and it’s like a breath of fresh air every time we talk. I don’t have to hide or adjust my language and it’s so relieving.
Imagine if you talk to your coworker and you think they are a Marxist because they talk about class struggle, but then they talk about how China is not socialist and that Deng was a capitalist-roader (I watched a video saying that being “rich enough” [paraphrase] meant that they might as well be a capitalist… which is just a horrifically bad understanding of what a capitalist is).
I’m so relieved the maga cop moved and I’ve not heard jack from them since months.
Yeah, I am in the same boat. Even most of my online friends tend to just be lib with anarchist vibes, it’s becoming a little isolating to just keep my mouth shut.
Most of the explicit communists or socialists group in my country have already been killed and chased away. Either suppressed to a degree that finding one is an impossible roulette.
I solved this problem by just having no friends. But now I’m getting really fucking sick of my coworkers being at best liberals, I literally can’t talk about fucking anything without some dumbass fucking commentary. And then my other coworkers just seem to channel the spirit of Trumpism because every word out of their mouths is exactly what Id expect Fox News to be pumping into their brains, i.e. “of course it’s a great idea to let everyone on a military base carry a gun”
Get organized. Join a party, if there isn’t a formation near you then create one. You will find comrades, and you will become more politically developed.
Maga evangelicals, blue maga evangelicals, JW, LDS, work, neighborhood…I agree where I can, question when I can’t, and somehow work with occasionally to put non-perishables in the free box, books in the free library. I have no idea how it’s working but I’m grateful.
