While I was tabling during the first day of classes at McGill, I met a girl who was starting her first year here. While she didn’t call herself a communist, she had noticed the posters we had put up all around campus that morning, and they really resonated with her. Although her Hong Kong parents propagandized her against communism for all her life, she was curious, and so I invited her to our open branch meeting.
As she later admitted to us, my contact was planning to come to the branch just to be polite but to tell us afterwards that she wasn’t interested. However, after a leadoff by a leading comrade on the philosophical roots of marxism, followed by a discussion on the topic, she changed her mind! She came to an event we hosted the next week on why we need a revolution against the billionaires and by the end of the following branch, she was convinced to join!
