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

At my job, I try and translate to:

  • Proletariat = workers
  • bourgeois = bosses
  • class = working class, although I'll hold my tongue when talking to someone who describes themselves as "middle class"
  • means of production = productivity/profits

My coworkers are LIB's! (so am I, see bullet point three; but I am the one true leftist at my workplace lenin-dont-laugh )

That last bullet is tricky, but coworkers understand that they make the profitability boosts and managers crack their whips to boost productivity, while visibly monitoring other workers for slacking or stealing.
