How did you guys find your way to the left side?

I was a "non-political" neo-liberal (think Blair Nu-Labour). Then I read some mainstream econ books
>When you produce more, your costs per unit go up, because otherwise that would lead to monopolies and we don't want that to happen so it doesn't happen :^)
and I was like THIS IF FUCKING RETARDED.

Adolf Hitler

Hmm….

started out as a socdem, then anarchist. then i started to shitpost as a tankie online and sort of got more authoritarian

I was a poorfag all my life and after finally getting my shit together and getting a job with career prospects 2008 just cucks my shit up, then I slowly leftpill my self through wikipedia and youtube over the next 2-3 years.

Did you come from the video we sponsored?

Start looking up socialist concepts when I was like 15 or so. Existed as an unconscious SocDem for a decade until I for some reason took the plunge and read Leftist theory.

Not really sure why exactly, I think maybe seeing Bernie Sanders get rekt by the establishment made me realize it would be impossible to reform our system through democratic means, utilizing the tools of a government as corrupt as ours. Government exists as a flood-gate against radical change, specifically designed by our Bourgeois "founding fathers" for this very reason. So I looked up revolutionary leftism.

This will sound very reddit but it was logic and reason.

Socialists online convinced me that capitalism is unsustainable due to its instability, need for constant growth, and environmental ramifications. Richard Wolff helped me realize that a decent alternative already exists.

Was on a bougie af track in life, in a major US city working with execs/board members/etc.

Nothing will make you a socialist faster than waking up to realize that 99% of the people you've worked with over the past few years are complete sociopaths and society would legitimately be better with them hanging from a rope
