How are we supposed to get anywhere when most westerners don't even know what communism and capitalism are? (hexbear.net)

It's 2026 and people still say shit like "communism is when government does a thing so the US army doing bad shit isn't capitalism actually!"

I know this probably isn't helpful to say but sometimes I wonder if it's even possible to reach people politically when peoples understanding is so warped and confused. How do we fight against such a giant flow of ignorance and propaganda?

It feels like an impossible task when people don't even know what words mean.

I really appreciate and respect people who continue to try and educate people on these things because they must have the patience of a saint to not get burnt out.

EDIT: man, you guys are giving me such detailed answers that I totally don't deserve. Thank you, and sorry for my initial defeatism.

Eggnog I love you because you autistically adhere to the same party line I do and always make a point to bring it up. People really need to internalize this. We don't have the luxury of decades to slowly build a coalition as capitalism disintegrates. The "socialism or barbarism" meme is much more literal than I think most leftists realize.

Aw, thank you. I feel like I just accept the science and it's the most important thing.

💯 People implicitly assume we have far more time then we do.
