this series of video essays ("the state is counter revolutionary") makes a lot of good arguments against authoritarian leftism and states, towards why they are not a path to communism but a hurdle. i doubt someone who has already fallen into the trap of authoritarianism will watch these videos with an open mind but maybe you could watch them urself and integrate some of the arguments into your intervention.

tankies think that whatever states they simp for are better than the US, because they wont admit any of the flaws of these states in the first place. their entire narrative is that the flaws of these states are made up as anti-communist red scare propaganda. so they are very good at rationalising any arguments against them.

i do not know how to convince tankies, but its great that you are trying :)

it looks like there arent many (any?) responses :< maybe you could share what its like to live in the us as a trans person and ask trans people in other places, how life there compares? there are probably more people who can say something about that.

i agree. i hope anti-authoritarians dont feel targeted. i personally would not call myself a communist or use hammer and sickle, because they are too charged but they can definitely represent things i can stand behind.

landlords are part of the issue. they dont simply provide a public service and get payed for their work and risk. they sit on a vital resource that ppl need to survive and exploit that. landlords, especially big ones, extort as much as they can, consitently raising rents without good reason, while doing even less than the minimum amount of work.

no one is saying that everyone should own their own house but the landlord/renting model is exploitative shit.

really most of capitalism is like that but ig we notice it more when its so close to us.
