    I’d take those instead of more awful people. And it can also be the first step for someone to achieve class consciousness.

      Those are the awful people, they believe what they’ve been told is socialism with no question. These are the people that are politically illiterate

          You can be awful without being evil. Politically ignorant/illiterate are awful even if they aren’t necessarily evil.

            They can be annoying, frustrating, naive and so on. It doesn’t mean they won’t believe in the same ideas, they’re just a bit ignorant. That’s why it’s important to explain why this line of thinking in this meme is harmful, not to shame them. There’s a path to “wokeness”, basically, it’s not instant.

            Not everyone is terminally online, especially if they’re working two jobs just to survive. We must not gatekeep socialist ideas, it’s one of those things on the left that divides people and drives them away.
