For me it was watching bougois leftists be just as insane as the ruling class and then finding a streamer who was able to accurately dismantle the propaganda, then podcasts and then books.
The main part was being told to read state and revolution. I remember that while reading i thought “dude, you’ve been following a cult all your life.”
I love the part where Lenin stops writing and goes and participates in an active revolution. If I am gonna listen to a socialist, I may as well listen to someone who talked the talk and walked the walk.
Someone I met warned me of reading it. “Be careful, it is very convincing, yet very unnuanced.” After reading it, I understood what western “leftists” mean with “nuance”. its code for “stabilizing for the status quo”.
I love how these same liberals and thr western leftists defenestrate ‘nuance’ when topics like the Korean War, the Tiananmen Sqare protests, and the diaspora celebrating the US military bombing their homeland comes up.

Same, it was like a switch being flicked and me going mentally “they were right all along, I get it now!”
