    No, this is the big brain play. You see there was recently a political movement whose flagship desire was medicate for all and there have been over 2 months of consecutive protests to defund the police, right? If a cop who wants some dumbass private healthcare bullshit is a Marxist, then there are bound to be some suburbanites who think, "well maybe Marxism isn't so bad, Marxists aren't the chaotic evil I thought they were." The overton window then relaxes outward to the left. That's when we strike! They're lulled into a false sense of security and suddenly - BAM! We steal hundreds upon thousands of toothbrushes (since we don't believe in private property) and use them to fund the revolution. Easy fucking peazy 😎

      I mean, if it didn't involve inviting opportunists into self-identifying as Marxists, yeah, basically. same reason BLM getting called antifa and anarchists is essentially good for us.

          even more than that, I'm worried about what's happening right now with "socialist" becoming another synonym for liberal. communist and Marxist are so far the only names that have resisted all such recuperation.
