Friend, take the straight point as it’s delivered: capitalism is a system of oppression, and “liberals” support capitalism.
Leftists call those saying “this system of oppression would be perfect, with only some changes” liberals.

Would you say what you’re seeking is “more intimacy,” up to, potentially, the most possible intimacy?
I would suggest looking at his different interests and getting curious. If you’re interested in the guy, it should be pretty easy to find reasons why this film or that game are endearingly-this-or-that in a way that makes you like and respect him even more.
Then, you bond over it; by trusting his taste (intimacy) enough to check out that show or whatever interest, you now have an opportunity to get deep (intimacy) into what you each individually felt (intimacy) about it, and maybe you felt something in common. That’s some foundation for intimacy.
I think it could very well be dissolving at least a coating. I would use more dilute IPA. 👍
I more or less agree, but you keep using “believe” when you ought to use “belief.” Just FYI.
I don’t think you understand, because you came out of left field to restate my point as “the only way to bring about systemic change is through Marxism.”
Wtf? Where did I say anything related to Marxism, let alone use the word?
I will reply to your quote:
No! Those things are only achievable through anticapitalism! Marxism and anarchism are examples of anticapitalist thought.
“Opposition to traditional hierarchies,” “desire for systemic change,” “anti-imperialism,” and “social justice” are hollow, offensive, and nonsensical when ignoring capitalism.
I’m not a Marxist, and you can call yourself whatever you like, but if you haven’t attained class consciousness enough to recognize that capitalism is a death cult, you’re a fucking liberal.
