Almost nobody truly believes in anything, modal shifts are incomprehensible, deeply internalizing ideas is hard, and even the dumbest mother fucker, even a fucking Nazi, can see shit's fucked and the only thing worse than where we're at is where we're going.

Add in the basic convictions that people dont deserve different shit based on birth (racism bad, monarchy bad, 60/40 sexism bad), people should have shit like food and houses, education is good, and get really angry about how everything is shitty, learn it can be otherwise without learning self criticism. Do not comprehend that the medium is the message.

Find yourself tankie.

Alternatively: capitalism bad what was biggest thing on map to fight capitalism? I'm USSR now. Rawr.
