    A: Learning about socialism is not radicalizing.

    B: Americans have been propagandized to death, poisioning their minds to believe socialism is abject poverty for everyone but the poor lazy useless eaters. They are on average just stupid enough to beleive it without question.

      1. If so, then what’s radicalizing like?

      2. To be honest, I think the best time the US should’ve become a socialist country would be during the Great Depression - the economy was going down the toilet and people are waiting to get by, but it’s gonna require word-of-mouth, an aversion of the Red Scares and such. The alternate history story “Reds! A Revolutionary Timeline” (wiki here) would probably give you an idea on what would that be like.

        1. The dictionary is your friend.
        2. The best time was in the past. The next best time is tomorrow after a good night’s sleep, a nice hot shower and a healthy breakfast.

        Word of mouth can’t compete with fascist corporate media broadcasting poison 24/7 to idiots. Radio, TV, “news”, web content. It’s highly orchestrated scientifically optimized propaganda.
