Why are you a lefty? Was there a particular event or moment in your life that triggered your opinions to change?
What is the most important reason to overthrow capitalism for you?

I just want better public transit.
my wage is low, most people I know have very little job security, funding of public transportation, education and healthcare is low. Also, space exploration.
I got a job.
working for 20 years
My father's redundancy when I was 14. We weren't hit that hard (while a wage earner, my dad had done well for himself, we also had savings), but I would go to the rugby club every sunday and I would see a load of skilled people: computer scientists, automotive engineers, ect. out of work. I asked myself "why the fuck is this happening", I read: and realised that capitalism is fucking dogshite at using human labour effectively.
Idk tbh. When I first became interested in politics I was a socdem, very anticommunist though. I guess I just read more, educated myself, etc to the point where I understood what socialism and capitalism are.
And now here I am, I don't really consider myself a marxist or an anarchist, just a nonsectarian socialist.
I am a loser and i failed at life. I have no valuable skills and i am too lazy to get a job.
That's why i think that marxism would benefit me. Even thought that i know that marxism can't work as long as people like me, who can't contribute anything to society, exist, i know that trying it again would benefit me. I don't care about what happens when it fails again.
why do I feel as if you're a projecting right winger
being around and living in horrible conditions did a good job pushing me left
I fight to turn all fascists into cute twinks.
