    Has anyone gotten their friends into communism?

    I’ve seemingly started a chain reaction within my online friendgroup of people turning into leftists and getting into communism. I first got my friend into it by just talking about politics and stuff, he even used to argue with me about “communism’s never worked” or “doesn’t North Korea do [thing].” Eventually he switched up and I actually got him to read theory like Marx. Then, me and the first guy got another friend into it and now he’s beginning his journey into theory and understanding. Today, I’ve just seen that 2nd guy sending another guy Principles of Communism.

    It’s really cool seeing people start out, how they grow and change with it.

    All of these people were liberals/left-aligned/not even really interested in politics before, so, it goes to show that liberals and the such aren’t always a lost cause and with some effort you can get them into it.
