    Brazil. While I already leaned Left since a young age, two events finally tipped me over to Communism:

    1 - My aunt married a Russian who talked about the USSR a lot;

    2 - I spent an entire year (2013) unemployed and literally had to look for food on the garbage sometimes. And all the while, I knew there were people five minutes from my shack that were even worse off than me. That pretty much made me grow an immense resentment of the capitalist system and those who support it.

    (Edit: This is me expanding on my previous answer on this thread).

    Chinese-American. I was a Bernie soc dem and was kind of a self-hating Chinese second-generation immigrant because I heard from the media that I was supposed to hate China for their policies on Xinjiang, Tibet, and Hong Kong. Once I learned more about the CPC and read theory, I started seeing the world in a completely different way. Today, I proudly call myself a Marxist-Leninist.

      What is your impression of Russia? Not in terms of democracy, but rather in terms of life quality, infrastructure, etc? How does it compare to US?

    I’m a British-born Chinese currently still living in the UK, looking for the first opportunity to leave and go back to China!

      I’m in South Carolina. It’s everything that you think it is and MUCH worse. I hate it here. But the working class is here. They are reactionary because they are uneducated and propagandized with racism. We must organize and educate our comrades. One day this will be the core of the working class revolutionaries.

      Maybe……

    From Guam but live abroad. Place is decaying and imperialism has basically robbed the wealth of the people whilst sending them to die in the middle east.

    Former Yugoslav republic of Serbia. One day we’ll revive Yugoslavia, but this time we’ll purge the party of opportunists.

    New Pyongyang, Chollima IX, Alpha Centauri Sector in the People’s Republic of the Milky Way. Happy Juche 290!

    …Nah, the boring old U.S. of A, which, by the way, is fully as terrible a place as everybody thinks.

    I am from Yugoslavia - that is Socialist Federative Republic of Yugoslavia, the land of Tito and his partisans. We are temporarely broken into smaller nationalist pockets, but that won’t last long.
