Well, I was a social democrat when I first started thinking about political stuff, mostly because my parents were steadfast liberals. I think the thing that turned me really anti-capitalist and anti-state was free software and the file-sharing scene, respectively. They both really are proof that anarchism works. You just do stuff for the community because you feel like it, and everyone benefits.

Helps that one of my best friends growing up had Marxist parents, so I had a lot of exposure to left-wing ideas before I accepted them.

Yeah, that's why f/freeasinfreedom is really the most important forum we have to spread awareness. Liberals are all about the libre software - the just need a little push to associate that with libre life.
