My partner and I started out with similar politics but have gradually stopped talking about it as I've veered leftward. She wasn't super interested in hearing about the case for voting uncommitted in the primary. I've been wondering about the long term implications but feel like she might be receptive to communism after this shit show of an election
Don't just spring it on her. Gotta get her with good communist propaganda. Watch Damnation, any thing by Boots Riley, then Parenti and Chill.
Sorry to Bother You has been on my to watch list for a while!
It's so good
Word! Don't miss out on I'm a Virgo!
I’ve had a similar situation with my SO. Been propagandizing them - pointing out the flaws in the system, pointing out when capitalism is the cause of their ills - and, while they agree with me on all my points, they still can’t get past the “it’s the only system that has worked” mentality. I need to get stronger in those cases so I can argue the point.
My challenge has been getting past "We have to work with what we have, even if it sucks"
That's where I find getting subjective works better. "Why do you think that? Where did you first hear it, and from who? What would have to happen to change your mind?"
