Have you ever read a post here that just "clicked" with you?

A lot of times it seems like the same old tired debates just rage on and on here, but have you ever read a post here that (in your opinion) really just settled an issue for you? That maybe changed your mind on an issue?

One that I remember was a post made by Vanguard1917, on a thread about "identity politics", which I'm too lazy to go looking for. Anyway, the OP brought up the fact that the left is supposedly opposed to identity politics, yet isn't the whole thing about being "working class" and such just another form of identity politics. To which V1917 responded by saying that there is nothing to celebrate about being a worker, in fact it's a miserable existence, and the left seeks the destruction of working class identity through the destruction of class society, not it's celebration.

That was a topic I had also wondered about from time to time, and that post settled the matter permanently for me.

Does anyone else remember any really good, memorable posts on this forum?

Lurking here back in the day, many posts here made me get to see that capitalism is the problem. Not one specific post though.

Miles made good posts about current event type stuff. I can't recall the exact thread but the topic came up at work and his wording on here helped me get to the point enough that I could carry a full conversation on the topic without the other person really feeling confused.

Yes, a few. I have them bookmarked on my computer. A few from Jimmie Higgins, Miles, Red Commissar, Q, and others. There might even be one or two in there by you:blushing:

I was really green when it came to any leftist thinking when I found this site, so I had a lot of those moments in the beginning. They still happen on occasion.

Zanthorus and Paulappaul, that I remember. Nothing in particular. Chatted with Paulappaul about some things, and Zanthorus had a few posts which helped snap some things into focus for me. Good contributors.

When I was a left communist I worshiped Leo. Still do.

Devrim's made some blinders, but I can't remember any specifics right now.
