I am not openly communist except with one or two of my friends, and even then I never talk about it.
I just try to insert bits and pieces, but I try to avoid politics IRL because they ruin birthday parties.
Do you hide your real politics irl?
That's hiding my politics. Moreover, you can get a lot of people onboard with that kind of trickery, but they'll still instantly freak out when you start really defending the USSR and denouncing imperialism.
Stop being a pussy
Stop being un-pragmatic. If being pussy's gonna help us win, so be it.
Like I said, take it slow. When it comes to talking about the USSR, take it real slow. You have to keep at it for a really long time before you can start defending the USSR.
you're just amusing yourself with opportunism. your socialist hobby. all I am pointing out is that if you are not openly advocating communism, and you ARE a communist, then you are hiding your views. "take it slow" is worthless and accomplishes nothing.
Nope, when I started radicalizing someone on here managed to convince me that I should be open about being a Communist with my friends and family, since it's certainly not evil, unlike Fascism.
I totally regret it now, it comes up on a daily basis and my friends and family won't take anything I say about politics seriously anymore.
I'm thinking of slowly pretending to become a social democrat so they will get off my back about it already. Every argument devolves into "Human nature" and "100 million dead."
It's just not worth the time to argue when they already have their mind set.
I did manage to turn one of my ancap friends into an ancom, and push a couple of them into center-left territory though, so I guess it wasn't all a waste of time.
I don't have to, thank you Comrade Corbyn.
If you just charge headlong right into pure ideology, nobody'll take you seriously. See for an example of this. Instantly outing yourself as somebody no normie's gonna listen to is far less productive than gradually attracting people. ou get more flies with honey, comrade.
Never I defend stalin, ghaddafi, assad, north korea, fidel in public all the time. The more people the better, I don't give a shit. Talk shit about socialism get your ass whooped
communism is not "pure ideology" you fucking idiot.
oh ok, nobody will take communism seriously if you advocate for it… nobody will take communism seriously if you don't! And who is this "nobody"? There are hundreds of millions of devout communists all over the world. If you think nobody will "take it seriously," then you are in enemy territory!
Do you have ABSOLUTE DOGSHIT reading comprehension? I have explicitly said I don't bring up communism in many contexts (workplace for instance), because I know that it can ruin my life and make me even more useless to the communist movement.
They go away when they honey goes away, you are back at square one, stop jacking yourself off.
