I am on the precipice of one and don’t want that to turn me into a disengaged normies, lib, or chud. I know that a local DSA chapter was financially backed by a person of incredible means, so I wonder what keeps such people left wing or at least SocDem.
Make sure you’ve actually changed and aren’t embracing communism rhetorically. No matter how wealthy I could possibly become, I’ve seen how the sausage is made. I can’t not see the horror and exploitation endemic to every aspect of society. I always want to learn and uncover more. Money has limited utility in resisting the capitalist order so I’m not really chasing it, but I do have to survive because I know I’ll get eaten up if I lag for too long.
IMO its good that you’re worried at this stage, you might be a little less liberal than you think.
