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

I tend to avoid those when explaining my thoughts because they sound fucking weird to most people and that leads them to ignore you. Means of production is one i use cause I really dont know what else to call it that works. Also I am absolutely fine just telling people I'm a communist cause it doesn't come with any risk for me and it means I can openly represent the ideology and not have it thought of as my own half baked political idiosyncrasies. It lets people know i'm not just speaking personally.

    Tools, factories, and land. Maybe throw in offices or infrastructure, but the first three get the point across. "We're the ones using these tools everyday to make stuff, why aren't I allowed to borrow it for home projects? When was the last time an actual member of the Walton family stepped foot in this Walmart, if ever?"

    If you just describe things that are included in the means of production, you can avoid saying "means of production."
