I grew up as the pastor's son. The firstborn child of 3... Obviously, i was very conservative-minded. I remember when i was like 10 and watching very anti-abortion and homophobic content. Wasn't sure about my political alligeance tho. When i turned 12, i moved with my mom and my 2 siblings to a BIBLICAL INSTITUTE. By the time i was still conservative but after that happened it sort of changed my life to this day. When my parents got back together, i started to watch libertarian kind of videos, i remember even watching videos of the current Argentinian president, Javier Milei, back when he was in a radio station working with libertarian content creator Emanuel Danann. Anyways, when i got into high school, i was deeply depressed. My parents broke up again, and i already moved so many times that i couldn't wrap my mind around the fact that i could move out to somewhere else again. One day, when i was scrolling in my youtube feed, i found this video called Debunking Every Anti-Communist Argument Ever by Spooky Scary Socialist, so i got interested in socialism. Later, one of my school mates saw me reading the Communist Manifesto, and told every one in class. I was nicknamed "President" all over the class. The next year, i was elected as the delegate of the class. Did some good things but overall, i didn't do much. I guess switching politics was a good idea. I'm currently a Marxist-Leninist-Maoist. Maybe it's a little bit opportunist, and i always try to be humble and don't recognize myself as a "President" because im not. I have different responsabilities now. I don't know if this year i'm going to go to class. I'm failing the same exams as i explained before. It's kind of useless if i go than if i don't. I'm kind of scared tho. Anyways, i don't know how this turned out to be about my current fear.

i was a marxist-leninist-maoist until i read industrial society and its future, so i'd recommend you read that.
I've already read that one, it is interesting. But i find it too neo-luddite and doesn't concern for material conditions.

i think he's right about leftist psychology and how technology minimises human freedom freedom and happiness, i used to think rapidly progressing technology was a good thing, which i saw communism as ideal for. my view is that one of a system's main purpose is to maximise wellbeing, and i no longer see a technological society (especially a highly centralised one like communism) as a beneficial system.
