i have made a new account on here instead of piefed.social. i am trying to learn more about communism and marxist-leninism as i think it’s the right belief set for me. also, if i was a spammer/troll in the past on other accounts, i sincerely apologize and decided to become a genuine, contributing leftist member of comradeship society.

    Welcome.

    PieFed is a funny thing. Lemmy was created by communist developers, and PieFed was created as Lemmy clone by an anti-“tankie” developer. A handful of scratched liberals in the fediverse have made deplatforming communists their life’s work.

    Don’t feel too bad about having been an insufferable lib. I used to be one too but there was a user on reddit who never gave up extolling the virtues of China and Communism and after years of my bad faith arguments and their making new accounts because they got banned, reality finally broke through. I never got to tell them thanks for not giving up on me.

    I personally started with Parenti and Lenin. State and revolution by Lenin and Blackshirts and Reds by Parenti are very accessable.

    Look up yellow parenti as well on youtube

    Hakim is a pretty decent Youtuber on the marxism leninism

    There’s a lot to learn, especially to get through the years of propaganda we were all raised with in neoliberal countries. But good on making the effort!

    Welcome! Everyone is really nice, disagreement can be blunt, but that facilitates open and honest discussion, imo.

    Hello!

    “All sinners have a future, all saints have a past.” We almost all had the lib stage.

    This community is a good place for learning.

    Welcome comrade! ✊️

    Genuinely, the discussions happening here are a very good intro to compare/contrast to narratives that get thrown at people from imperialist and bourgeoisie media, on top of everything else. It’s also got many links to good sources of info on leftist thought and alternative perspectives.

    Also - not sure if others have mentioned, but sometimes it can be difficult maintaining optimism when learning about the real world through a communist lense; laying bare the countless injustices and vitriolic, grotesque reactionary behavior of those who oppress us and how they do so can be a daunting task to open your eyes to all at once, so don’t forget your own mental health on your journey.

    A better world is possible!
