Ahhh I gotcha. I didnt know .ml was Marxist leninist in that way. I kinda FW MLM, tbh. Especially the more I read and learn.
Tbf, I havent read much anarchist theory though, to counter balance. Right now, I am reading “seeing like a state” and I find the author’s interpretations of Lenin to be somewhat in bad faith, even.
That said, I am not an apologist for any system. Mistake were made during the ussr and Chinese revolutions 100%.
Im curious: where do you fall on the political spectrum?
Hell ya, best of luck.
The Socratic involves (but if not limited to), asking the person youre conversing with a lot of follow up questions. Continuing to drill down until you get to the root of the issue. Then, you can work backwards to change their thinking to be more grounded in reality.
This is a really bad explanation but it works wonders for Consevatives. Ill give you a real-world example i had with my parents:
Them: “we dont like immigrants”
Me: why?
Them: they take our jobs
Me: how do they do that?
Them: by working for subpar wages
Me: ya, it sucks because it does take jobs away from people in this country. I wish employers were willing to pay fair wages

Not trying to dissuade you, but have you considered talking to her about class politics and the economy?
I find it a tad confusing but I like it. For example, I dont understand what you meant just now.
Will it? We’ve had this tech for decades. Its never been a consideration before. Im not convinced it ever needs to be.
I understand you may be hurting, brother. But, I promise you, in a healthy relationship, you wont feel this way. Much love
Im saying the problem is so vastly insignificant that its negligible. Im willing to change me mind in light of evidence. BUT, Extraordinary [changes to medical practices] requires extraordinary evidence
Okay, so you understand the implications of how absurd the question is?

My friend, you are extrapolating based in a sample size of 2, to the entire world. Then, proposing this MASSIVE healthcare change based on that. …
Thank you, I didnt see that. Appreciate it
Are you extrapolatijg your families experience to the rest of the world?
Fair point. On the other hand, where else do I buy?
My only regret, is having bone-itis
Because everyone knows Hamas are as equal an evil as the Israel authority.
Wait, you’re saying this part sarcastically, right?
Capitalism > democratic socialism > socialism > communism > anarchism. That is my head cannon.
I actually love the thought of protecting us from humanity itself. Its kinda the “human nature is inherently selfish” idea. Which i disagree with. Here are some links that might heko you feel the same

However, if you are still not cinvinced; I think you could draw a lot of strength from the idea of: “the dictatorship of the proletariat”.
Creating a system which prevents the worse characteristics of human nature from thriving, is a must. That must happen in order to achieve communism
