Every single time we attempt to spread and engage non-leftist communities, we encounter the very same problem: the standard narrative against Socialism is so strong and has been so internalized by normies that it's like talking to a wall. Nothing we say crosses the ideological barrier. Narratives you and I may have learned to dismiss years ago are still strong in the average person's mind, and will protect them from considering anything that falls under the S-word. The other problem we have is that many young people who now believe themselves to be Socialists have a childish, dumb understanding of it where they basically want a happier capitalism.
The most important question, then, is how to challenge these standard narratives and spread our point of view. Spreading memes and organizing left-wing communities like this one work, but only to a certain point. IMO we need something more organized and persuasive than that, but I'm still not sure what it is.
Wait until they're firmly on your side, then start indoctrinating them with leftist positions, but don't use naughty words (socialism, anarchism, communism, capitalism, classism, exploitation, means of production, surplus value, revolution, etc.), and once they've internalized it sufficiently, REDpill them the rest of the way.
Best gateway drug is labor unions. In spite of decades of propaganda, even the average burgerlard is supportive, and would join a union if they could. Labor unions are uniquely well suited to socialists, since they are a very goal-oriented organization that's harder to derail with conciliatory classcuckery or idpol nonsense.
Depends how you want to open the door. Being openly against gun control is a way to get people on the other side to notice you, and being openly against free trade is enough to get most non-rich liberals listening.
All that matters is going outside and promoting it. Start a discussion/lobbying group and write a formal letter to your legislator every four months about how satisfied/unsatisfied you are with him. This is the basis of all lobbying.

This, one of the first things you should do is start being supportive of things that are commonly associated to rightwingers (anti-gun control, anti-bueraucracy, or at least unnecessary buearaucracy) pro-freedom of speech and then slowly start plopping socialist concepts, you can start by how their bosses take their surplus value, how capitalism ruins culture and nations (therefore if you are a true patriot you must be against capitalism), shit like that. Take a leftwing concept and showcase it as an answer against capitalism, an answer that liberals can't give and something that will hook in rightwingers.

We ruin our own reputation with radlib retardation. You can't exactly blame people for falling for some Jordan Peterson line of "identity politics is derived from Marxism" when most Marxists can't stop spouting feminist, BLM, anti-cop, Islam apologist etc. trash.
Hudson Cook
It makes plenty of sense to be anti-cop if you're Marxist. This isn't identity politics, it's just acknowledging how the state is structured.

Also something I don't think I've seen suggested from neither here nor leftypol is to start a psyop against rightwingers, more specifically against people like white nationalists, fascists and far-rightists of that sort. The reason for this is that these types of righties suspiciously never seem to talk about economics, which happens for many reasons, they either are retarded and know jackshit, purposefully leave them out cause they don't know what to go for or simply are populist cocksuckers that say shit like "no we'll have a mixed economy that incorporates socialist policies but bosses will still have control over their businesses and earn profits" or some other retarded shit like that. The way to take advantage of this shit is by making shit like flyers, posters or shit like that that reveals (not too obviously ofc) how all the rightwing shit about muh nation muh culture muh joooz is just a coverup for the elite to keep earning profits, keep their MoP and stay as the ruling class. Here's an example: a flyer that says something like "Kill all rich jews, replace them with rich whites". This also makes normie rightwingers would-be white nationalists want to dissasociate themselves from them if they see them as being this openly violent. Just some thoughts.

Let's die on hills not worth defending then, and let the right get regular workers who don't want violent crime in their communities. Of course in your gated community it's not that much of a problem, I'm sure.

what you gotta do is simple: do a reality check from time to time
majority of the working class is fat, not starving, they are free to own cars, houses, travel around etc actually as long as you have a marketable skill, you enjoy the market and i'd say 90% of the population enjoys the market all the doctors enjoy the market because people want to buy their services all the fighter pilots are pretty damn happy with what they do all the engineers are enjoying their 6 digits salaries even workers with less formal education, such as plumbers, welders, electricians, construction workers etc are pretty damn employable in the current economy im in my 20ies so the only people ive met in my whole life who are unhappy with the market are weird hair color people who went 6 digits into debt for a feminist basket weaving degrees, stupid people are stupid no matter if you have capitalism or socialism except that everyone owns an internet connection, everyone is quite literally already owning the means of production ive met a guy who learned how to fix washing machines on the internet, found a used 200$ toolbag with the tools on the internet and now makes a living fixing washing machines im studying math at uni so basically half of the students sells math lessons to highschoolers and other uni students like engineering and technology students while the other half does coding
basically none of the working class people you talk to needs any socialism, they are doing just fine in capitalism average working class man is more worried with a feral minority harming is family or feral unemployable leftist setting his car on fire instead of learning a marketable skill, than he is worried about big evil corp buying up a rug under his feet
Julian Reed
Regular workers don't like the pigs and the popo don't keep your neighborhood safe dumbass.
