I really need to stop trying to engage with these folks.

If you want to go see the depths of this dork's ideology.

It isn't that 'freedom means something different in books'.

When a capitalist talks about freedom, they are talking about their freedom to oppress you, cheat you, and subject you to longer working hours in worse conditions. When a working class person talks about freedom, they mean actually getting a say in how work is done, being able to negotiate their pay, how many hours they work etc.

You can't have both.

    Yes, that needs to be communicated though and that is my point because it isn’t communicated as well as it could be.

    I think it is communicated well, ideologically, though. The issue is one of reach and saturation. A material deficit of media saturation.

    What we are saying is intuitive to working class people. It is communicated this way whenever a communist is included in the conversation. How often are we actually included in those conversations though?
