For the past three months, I’ve been having discussions with an older gentleman who shares my commute home. Every conversation invariably leads to a deeper political discussion about the decay of capitalism and how socialism is the only solution.
Last Tuesday, I showed him The Communist issue 17. We talked about the articles on Zohran and the recent general strike in Italy, and he bought a copy.
Two days later, he told me he read our issue, front to back, and praised it for its clarity. He said it convinced him to subscribe. We had another discussion about the changes in mass consciousness, and I showed him the results of the Cato/YouGOV survey featured on the front cover of issue 16 which say that 34% of young people support communism. He bought that copy without hesitation. It’s not just the youth—even the older generation are seeking a way out of this rotten system!
