Please stop using George Orwell for similes & metaphors. His works were pushed by the West as anti-communist propaganda, portraying a false equivalence of the far left being just as bad as the far right. There are plenty of better sci-fi dystopia authors out there which are overshadowed by this pathetic man.

But aside from that, fuck this fascist government and I wish you all the best with your case

People stay stuck in the mindset of "in the near future I will do this" when what you actually need to do is build up your willpower and motivation in the present.

If you are beginning a new year new body gym routine resolution thingamajig starting January 1st, make sure on that day your main goal isn't to go to the gym for an hour but instead to work on your mentality to go regularly. And internalise after you have worked out, how good that post-workout serotonin feels.

Also watch like a gym basics guide on Youtube or something it is your first time.

I wish I could learn Marxism-Leninism through a tutor, as ADHD makes it difficult to read theory by myself & my own will, and not just actually read it, but also memorise / internalise what I am reading. I don't have the money to go abroad and enrol in some communist university course in an AES country, and I imagine that would put me under government surveillance too, if I am not to some extent already on a list. And, I don't find online courses retain my attention anywhere near as well as in-person classes do. Anyway sorry for ranting, some of my examples:

Kindness & cruelty, dry & wet, loud & quiet, inside & outside, existence & inexistence, intact & damaged, fast & slow, progress & regress, chaos & tranquility, violence & peace, focus & blur, desire & aversion.

Most working class people are not at all happy with the status quo, if we can present them with answers and solutions, show them what capitalism and their government is (nationally and internationally), what their own position is within society, that can push them more and more left so to speak.

I don't think there is a straightforward broad strategy to make people aware like this, I think every communist needs to understand their own local people and plan in accordance to that, or in other words, the political conversion process is subjective not objective.

For me, the failure of Labour to do really anything to change the circumstances of living in the UK made me move away from the mainstream moderate left western views. In simple terms I just recognised, this is not working. I was never gonna go to the right or the enlightened centre and so it was either political nihilism or investigate more throughly 'this socialism stuff'.

Once I became some Green Party, tax the rich, SocDem type of guy, I recognised I could still remain open-minded rather than merely, naïvely assume this is what is needed to fix my country.

So I checked out anarchism and Marxism-Leninism - it's worth mentioning I had a lot of propaganda deprogramming to do, and that is hard to push through, I think it's a major barrier for many people who have been told all their life how supposedly evil these movements are - but here I am, now an M-L communist (I found it more logical, moral and factual than anarchism), still learning but knowing enough that I can't see myself committing to any other political movement. I wanted the truth, I wanted a solution, I wanted hope, and I believe I have found it.

We need Stalin AI edits of whatever the present day viral meme is, imagine how many new comrades we would have if Stalin said 'six seven brain rot slop we are charlie kirk'

Yeah liberals don't really want change, or at least a significant transformation, they want capitalism with a smile on it's face, exploitation with kindness. And their ego tells them they have politics figured out, thus making them uninterested in other options such as M-Lism of course - generally anyway, people are nuanced after all.

I disagree with you somewhat on your first paragraph (totally agree on the other two though) because I think right wingers are often very closed-minded, they often aren't willing to actually listen to your arguments, often just looking for a way to create a cool sounding argument that claims to prove some contradiction in your views but the response usually relies on twisting your words and views to hit you with some false 'gotcha'.

Thank you for such a well-worded response.
