I grew up more libertarian and rebellious, I wanted legalized drugs, gay marriage, and didn't think government telling anyone what to do was cool. Eventually I came out as transgender and queer after college and became more soc dem. I was radicalized from socdem to dirty commie soon after the DNC backstabbed Bernie Sanders. I really believed at the time that radical change was just around the corner. When I saw how democrats were willing to do anything to stop a "progressive" candidate from winning, I really started looking into what democrats were really about. I saw them as cowards, war hawks, and purposely ineffective.
In 2019 I started reading, listening to podcasts, talking with other leftists online, many of whom knew more about the world's history than I did, and still know more than I do (I'm a student, not a teacher right now). After learning about how heavily propagandized Americans are and the CIA backed coups in numerous countries I started to unravel what I thought I knew about China, USSR, DPRK, Cuba, etc.
