@mark @WarnerCrocker I had a very far-left, maximalist reactionary phase from school until my mid 20s. So far left I’d drift into right wing populism… which is when I actually got deep undercover in that scene trying to work out what on earth they were talking about. It’s a cult, plain as day - same as the fringe left.
I had a poor education and I struggled with traditional academia due to neurodevelopment issues and the attached stigma, but started to learn on my own and read a lot, and eventually went undercover as I say. Came out of it sharpish.
It’s so easy to see how people can be manipulated when they have no better points of reference. Education is everything.
It helped me recognise how much damage the far left has done to real, progressive, socialist politics, as much as the right.
