I'd add - be kind to others. One of the biggest things my right wing dad did to turn me in to a raging commie was being very polite and showing genuine respect to people regardless of age, race, education, income, or job. When I got old enough to start thinking about politics it got me wondering why he'd vote one way but treat people in life totally the other way, and that's one of many threads that began to unravel my world view.

I'd say also watch cartoons with your kids, or at least try to keep up with summaries. A lot of kids cartoons have very subversive stuff in them that kids might miss, but an adult with some theory could give them context to help them understand better. There've been a lot of weirdly deep kids cartoons over the decades and I'm sure there'll be more to come. Like, back in the day Scooby Doo pushed the message that ghosts and magic aren't real, and every problem in the world is the work of an old white man trying to steal real estate. Stuff like that.

Just be normal or you'll end up with a Buttigeig.

Have a friend whos parents were part of a major communist movement in their home country and essentially just let them do their whole obama -> bernie schtick u til it was time to go to college and handed them the manifesto and went "this guy is like bernie but better". Became an ML immediately after lmao

Push back hard against any transphobia or homophobia

Keep up with the News Mega!

Let your kids loose on the News Mega.

Sorry I have nothing to contribute, good post.

A lot of this seems like good advice but to drill down on the podcasts point, what specifically are you thinking of?

Off the top off my head, Blowback and Citations Needed are probably fine, but I'd feel like a bad father playing less "aesthetically liberal" communist podcasts in front of my kid (trillbillies, deprogram, trueanon all come to mind as good shows that are sometimes (or even regularly) way too crude for children).

Travel. More specifically living in very different surroundings than they're used to and among very different people. Interaction with other social/economic classes. Talking to and working with both very poor and very rich people in multiple cultures or countries is super educational in understanding how the system really works.

Take them to the Avante Festival in portugal and let them eat food at the international section, then let them play with other kids in the kids section

Your kid is gonna hate communism if you play them milennial new york based podcasts

put the damn radio on they want Drake

NGL didn't read the post fully yet, and it's kinda a bit, but...

Play lots of monopoly. Sometime in between the match during a toke break make an alliance with someone who understands your politics and that can trust in you. Proceed with match as normal but now you're going to make deals advantageous to the both parties, and figuratively (funnier if literally) corner the housing markets. Don't charge rent when you land on each other's properties. Accept players who are floundering, into the alliance, helping them avoid bankruptcy. If the rest of the table hasn't caught on already they 'lose' (unless they accept surrender and join the collective). If the rest of the table forms a counter alliance, if you don't have terrible luck (like our inductee) you should still be able to pull out a win if the combined 'capital' or 'money leeching vessels' is great enough. Might lose a bit of pizzazz and you shouldn't always play an almost non-game, but it could help instill a sense of responsibility to others wellbeing and instilling that games (and life) aren't always zero sum. That's what I did with friends 'during covid' (as if it's not still happening) and it had felt like a great way to sell people on socialism at the time ( in a very simple manner though).

More seriously, give them a drive to learn. Have them do plenty( re-education through labor, ie work, but not in an abusive sense, more like if you're gardening have them help how they can if they're young, if they're older let them earn a living and get radicalized that way [ which imo, is abuse given that it's thinly veiled slavery but can wash its hands off such accusations with a pittance]) and have them recognize what privileges they do have. Avoid fomenting resentment that'll tie your ideology with you and their contempt( this'll be hard because everyone, even here has disagreements, or has the capacity to be brash and shit ass in the moment[✨me✨], or has their own way of going about situations or desires that run counter to the collective[ The Family] Reward them for critical thinking as long as it doesn't run counter to them being honest with trusted adults (pigs don't count). Give them access to freedoms in turn for upheld responsibilities, such as transportation, communication, extended curfew, whatever. Teaching them outside them classroom.

Otherwise idk I don't got kids.

Deeply unserious and distasteful. But if they agree. If they've been acting like a shitheaded chud, 'punish' them by taking away their privileges, but offer to restore them if they humor you with either going to a homeless shelter and volunteering, (my unserious take incoming, that'll probably cause resentment) or if they've been especially egregious have them go through that system for however long it takes them to secure housing, a job, transportation etc. Basically have them learn how hard it is to stand alone. Probably won't happen unless they're 18. But yeah. Being poor and later homeless at 18 is extremely radicalizing, I would say I was still a silly liberal that at times could try to be too edgy, and in a sense nothing has changed up to this point besides a much greater understanding than I had had and that I've become more attentive to language used (when not being shit ass) and considerate (same verse as the first, I need a LOT of therapy to properly express myself without being ready to sling shit).

But to put it extremely concisely and simply have them learn responsibilities, try your best, and help them become as worldly as possible, while providing them the means to succeed before they're ready to leave the nest.

What I think did it with my kid most of all was our material reality, being poor. And neurodiversity which I think primes people for seeing norms as sus. Also our family was never exactly "normal". But I do know it could have gone the other way as well, down the reactionary pipeline. My kid has told me that in his early teens some of his previous friends with more probably boomery/middle classy parents went down the incel/altright pipeline. He also was close to those during his early youtube/streamer years. One big positive was him finding Hasan on Twitch and that pretty much started his path into full on commielife.

Not sure how much we really ever had a role in it. Kindness and acceptance were always our values, and intersectionality, but kids look to their peers so much that I am not sure if one can fully parent young people out those influences. I also always talked about how people behave badly due to conditions they are in. I was into movements like pride, bodypositivity, blm etc. All the radlib things basically.

So me and his dad were still very much radlibs when he grew up. It was actually him that got me to examine and get rid of my lib brain worms and red scare programming. He was the one in our family that went all the way and took us with him.

The one thing I think probably helped was that we never treated him like a child in the sense that we saw his input as valid, regardless of age. We were always political. Whenever he wanted to know more about the world or showed some very black&white thinking I would infodump all I could for him and offer alternative views, we discussed a lot and still do. His opinions were appreciated. I think this might have taught him to not accept "common truths" just as they are given, but to think about them and to try to figure out why things are the way they are. We were always also extremely justice sensitive in our family.

I would say move to Paris and just start barricading every street you see

Put forth a constructivist philosophy at every turn, like an emphasis on discovery and seeing A as the result of its composition and placement, rather than because of its "A-ness".

Keep an attitude on hand of "Here but by twist of fate go I".

Frequently encourage your kids to consider what they're saying and doing from the perspective of other people.

Eat dinner at the dinner table every night
