There's no need for one big revolution, the revolution comes to different countries at different times. I think it sounds like you're already pretty self-aware, why not commit?
You know, that's a valid question I've been asking myself lately due to the intersection between American Union history and the current state of politics. Frankly, contribute to the local orgs already; so as I said, arguing I'm not under the umbrella isn't strictly valid.
The other bit being that you can loop folks further left out of the more extreme sections of the evangelical right by presenting yourself as a middle ground. Talk them into reading some libertarian theory, conservative theory, and to read Marx and Engels for comparative analysis. Or at worst, reduce the theory to memes and make them read it by cutting absurd bits. I'm a bit of a dadaism fan if it wasn't obvious.
I think it's pretty effective to be extremely clear and honest too, depends on the person.
True; frankly, it usually works. I may have just read too much philosophy and feel crappy feeling like I'm telling people what they oughta believe. Still, this was a delightful discussion. Have a lovely day in case I pass out (night shift).
Oh gosh, that sucks. Hope your shift ends well! I hated working nights.
