You don’t need to go shouting it, but if someone starts talking politics at you, fucking own it. Some coworker is like “trump sucks”, say “yeah I know, I’m a communist”. Your grandpa says “trump rules”, say “no he sucks ass, I’m a communist”. You’re on a date and they ask who you’re voting for? Say “I’m a communist”. Cashier asks would you like change? “Yes, I am a communist”.
Be open about your politics and lay claim to the title. Be a communist.
Well it’s a two step process, right? I did the first step: capitalism bad. Next step is communism good. I’d point again to China’s food security.
They are! In the US, for example, COVID has pushed food insecurity from around 11% to around 30%. In China, on the other hand, food insecurity is about 8%. 20 years ago, it was 17%, so China is making significant progress while the US worsens.
And on the topic of the very poor in China, that number is in constant decline as well. In the late 70’s China’s poverty numbers were above 95%. Today they are less than 5%. Half of the reduction happened since 2000. China is by far the global leader in poverty reduction and is on track to completely eliminate poverty within the decade. Can you see that happening in America?
