Hey.
I have decided that as an alternative continuing along the path to totalitarianism I should at least try out Libertarianism as the risks involved are far lower. I am a bit of an intellectual car crash but I have nothing left to lose by trying. At this point it feels like fighting the laws of gravity as that is what I have been more or less taught by Historical Materialism for nearly a decade. Its painful but as far as I can tell, necessary.
I'm guessing there is a need for small steps as I learn to break out of habitual thought patterns. If you have any advice from a "recovering" Communist looking to depart from it more permanantly, it would be very welcome. Not sure what to say or if this will last and just feeling pretty speechless, but I at least want to say hi. Hopefully it will get easier with time and I will be happier for it.
