This is because communists accurately describe reality

don't use words people don't understand, use the words they do understand

I think it was Matt in one of the chapo episodes talks about how chuds dislike capitalism but they're too dim to realize that and instead blame all of capitalism's faults onto communism.

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 's! (so am I, see bullet point three; but I am the one true leftist at my workplace )

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.

Anticommunism isn't something people ever seriously consider, it's more designed as a thought terminating cliche. Communism bad, because everyone say so. No thoughts required. Some words are communism words and therefore out a person as a bad guy commie. But they don't know what any of these words actually mean, since if they did, they wouldn't think communism is pure evil.

It relies on people knowing nothing about communism, which means that these people can also be very receptive to communist ideas, as long as you don't use the scary communism words to describe them. Almost everyone within the working class can feel the contradictions of the system, even if they can't fully articulate them.

What you call “flying under the radar” is just effective communication and meeting people where they’re at. I try not to use jargon that my conversation partners haven’t already shown familiarity with, especially when discussing social and economic issues. Even if they’re open to what you’re saying, explaining definitions or correcting misconceptions about trigger words derails the flow of the conversation and can cause them to lose interest. Of course, anytime anyone asks me how I identify politically, I just tell them I’m a socialist so I don’t actually know anything about flying under the radar, sorry 💚

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.

DL communists shahed drones flying so low

It's like the party game Taboo

Oh yeah, I do this all the time. Gotta avoid minesweeper words.
