Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.
As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.
Thank you and happy chatting!

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."
