I haven’t even considered the word ‘radicalized’ in a while. I didn’t feel like heathcare pls, genocide is… le bad!, the dissolution of the US and its middle eastern outpost, war crime trials, trans people are… le good!, unions, trains, cooperating on the fruits of labor, and shit like that was even radical. It’s not like people like the current system or the people in charge in the current year - it seems like the layman likes 8 to 10 out of 12 things that a communist would want and change their mind on 1 or 2 by way of simple exposure.
For me radicalization is synonymous with learning to be anti-capitalist and developing class consciousness. Before that most people can’t articulate why we can’t have all the nice things you mentioned.
