I’m an elder gen-x. After decades of the bipartisan neoliberal ratchet effect, pulling the country ever-rightward to the benefit of the capitalist class and detriment of everyone else, and much investigation outside of corporate media, I’m a communist.
Very few gen-xers are ever going to escape capitalist realism. I’ve tried, but they’re quite ossified. Younger generations will have to be the mass of the vanguard.
Similar situation for me, though I’m on the mid to lower end. Pre-2000 I was still a liberal who believed we were on track to real progressive change and that if we’d just vote in the right candidates things would improve. It gradually became obvious that the same false hopes that kept being promised were never actually delivered and never could be by our current state or system.
