I was a liberal and the Gaza genocide is definitely the catalyst that made me become first anti-imperialist and then fully communist. Seeing the horrendous lies from the west about what was happening and slandering the Palestinian resistance spurred me to seek out alternative sources of political information, which in turn led me to Michael Parenti. From there I became more open to the USSR and AES, thanks to his lectures and black shirts and Reds.
Oh, now I know you used to be a liberal too. And you have deprogrammed yourself and overcame the Red Scare. Also thanks for your information.
