Yes because I think I can radicalize any baby communist I'm dating.

“I can ~~fix~~ radicalize them.”

Not going to lie, that phrasing is a little yikes. A relationship shouldn't be a radicalization project.

Honestly, I'm about out of faith enough in westerners that I genuinely think that might be the only way any of them come to the light, is if those of y'all who can still tolerate linking up with them long-term like that actually tried pulling them over. I absolutely expect them to die fash-adjacent at the very least otherwise, 'cause they'll never come to the water themselves.

My partner was already a communist so I didn't have to do much besides giving them Blackshirts and Reds lmao so it's not that they're my pet project that I'm singlehandedly "fixing/radicalizing" them so much as nudging them in the right direction.

Yeah, I'm sure it was normal and natural IRL

I disagree, every relationship is a radicalization project./hj Don’t be mean or obsessive, but we need as many comrades as we can get.

Maybe, but the way to do it isn’t through takes like this IMHO. I can only imagine liberals seeing comrades trying to do that the same as a far-right chud trying to evangelize about QAnon
