As a recently radicalized baby-lefty I’ve been thinking about this a lot

“the idea of a “moment” of radicalization is liberalism and connotes that people need this singular moment of experience or persuasion whereby they enter the class conscious state.”

fair point, just goes to show that my perspective was influenced by my own experience, thanks for pointing it out because now I’m aware :D

So I guess the real question would be “What’s your personal history with leftism?”

Mad props to you for at least trying, man. I wish I could unionize my workplace but there is only 10 of us and all of them minus the 2 managers watch Fox News on the daily… and they aren’t even old. Shit’s sad. And don’t fret about labels, we’re all leftists in some sense. I think I’m an anarcho-communist.

Other than The Conquest of Bread , I have not delved into much AnCom theory. I have been suggested Now and After: The ABC of Communist Anarchism but I haven’t gotten around to it yet.
