You don’t need to go shouting it, but if someone starts talking politics at you, fucking own it. Some coworker is like “trump sucks”, say “yeah I know, I’m a communist”. Your grandpa says “trump rules”, say “no he sucks ass, I’m a communist”. You’re on a date and they ask who you’re voting for? Say “I’m a communist”. Cashier asks would you like change? “Yes, I am a communist”.
Be open about your politics and lay claim to the title. Be a communist.
What I consider to be necessary for a communist government is largely just a communal concern for well being, both ours and everyone else.
At the expense of being called a revisionist, I actually disagree that this is necessary. Too many people are self-centered assholes to make this a requirement for our movement. We will need quite a few self-centered assholes if we want any chance at succeeding. You just need to convince them that our goals are good for their goals. If they aren’t upper management or a business owner, it isn’t all that difficult.
It’s quite easy to frame things in an individual perspective. “YOU should get the full benefits of YOUR work. Rich assholes who don’t give a fuck about YOU are basically stealing what you make.”
Just reframe “taxation is theft” into “profit is theft”. The tragedy of the commons just needs to be presented as “how greedy elites are fucking people like you and me over”
