Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.
A community for comrades to chat and talk about whatever doesn't fit other communities

It's largely no use trying to convince those who aren't willing to be, so focus your efforts on those who are. More comrades is a good thing, you don't have to pick the hardest fights to get more comrades, you can pick the easy ones and social pressures and material conditions changing will make the more against easier to convert in the future. Trust that the dialectic is always in motion, they may not be open now, but might in the future as conditions change.
What do you mean by this?
Since you have a programming background, think of it like recursion. A function that runs, then calls itself has fundamentally changed inputs. Dialectics proceeds as spirals, this recursive loop is a cycle that always progresses quantitatively until the character qualitatively changes.
In practical example, as Capitalism decays, conditions quantitatively weaken for workers, which will eventually result in a qualitative shift in perspective and openness to new ideas.
