Turns out you can very easily fly under the radar and avoid detection as a communist (hexbear.net)

All you have to do is avoid obvious symbols and never say certain trigger words

  • “proletariat”
  • “bourgeoisie”
  • “class”
  • “means of production”

And just try to get around the words to say the exact same thing

Funny thing is, once you strip those away, most people will nod and think you’re describing reality

    most marxist analysis uses pretty big words, somewhat unnecessarily. like working class or just workers when the academic term would be proletariat. dumbing down the language can make you fly under the radar very effectively

    I find that a lot of "Marxist analysis" is people using the big words as a smoke screen to mask a lack of deep understanding.

    sometimes people have big words and understanding. they just don't know another way to talk.

    there is 2 ways of education an individual:

    1. educated them to educate others

    2. educate them to exclude others

    because of careerism, the second is incentivized.

    i believe so, like here im not afraid to use big complicated words, like i remember not knowing what a mountebank is in the communist manifesto, googling it and thinking, why the fuck would you translate that as a word?
