Any tips for getting past liberal bias towards personal stories?
Hey, just made an account after lurking here for like a year or so. Anyway, I just got out of a rather exhausting conversation with some friends where the topic of Ukraine came up and I tried my best to give a reasonable overview of why people in Crimea/DPR/LPR would support joining Russia, complete with several sources on the brutality of the Ukrainian government in the years since Maidan. Almost immidiately I got hit with "Well I have Ukrainian friends who say that Russia is the problem." I've noticed very often that people will trust what they've heard personally from people they know over any evidence you give them. My question is, has anyone found an effective way to get through to people who entirely base their stance on an issue on what the people they know personally have to say? How do you show someone that they need to look beyond what their token friend has to say and actually study the topic themselves? ... read full post

Why is the British left so Trot infested?
I have been looking at British leftist content don’t @ me my fellow Americans. I noticed that most of them are trots it’s like a parody of what the us left was in the 2000s full of trots opportunists and your occasional based person who is either old enough to have been around before Soviet Union fell and has reactionary social views or is a borderline hoxhaist. Not saying the American left is better. But we don’t have this level of revisionism. I know there’s some political differences like how the American left became very much taken over by Maoists from the 60s to late 70s. Then went super revisionist as a result of the fall of the USSR then went trot for about 5 years due to anti sovietism. Then we arrive where we are today where the main parties are all strands of ML at this point. Yet the British left has an over abundance of Trots and Anarchists. ... read full post

Help me understand Russia's actions, please
When Russia invaded Ukraine a few years ago, I was very lib and mostly history-illiterate. I try to be more ML now, but I still don't know a lot about world history. I've heard people saying that, at the dissolution of the Soviet Union, NATO promised they would not move toward Russia, but have since continued to expand eastward. I understand this is threatening to Russia, and I understand why they would want to respond, I'm just not sure why Ukraine specifically was the response? I know we give critical support to Russia in its opposition to the imperial core, so is that the reason? I also know Ukraine is brimming with Nazis in their ranks, but is that alone a reason to invade them? Is my saying Russia invaded Ukraine a misunderstanding in itself? I'm not trying to challenge you guys, I sincerely don't know and want to understand. ... read full post

Looking for books on post-Soviet Eastern Europe, anyone have any recommendations?
Generally just books on post '91 Eastern Europe. Could be analysis of the effects of shock therapy, wars, etc. Just want it to be from a Marxist point of view. If you have any good books on this but they aren't made by Marxists, that's fine as well.

Who of you want or don't want children? I am just curious because most people that I talk to don't seem to want it. I mean leftist
I am curious if the majority of leftist people don't actually want children haha. There doesn't seem to be any studies about it, but my convos with leftists is that most don't seem to want to have children either for the uncertainty of the future or because they are too expensive or because it wouldn't give them too much time to organize or whatever other reason that I forgot about. ... read full post
