Definitely :gigachad: in my book. Look, if :fedposting: gives a shit about individual people identifying as communist, they already know you're a fucking communist. It's not hard. Unless you live your life with extreme opsec and basically only access this site over Tor, the three letter agencies already know (or could immediately know by checking their database) your political leanings.

The good reason for not openly proclaiming yourself communist is the possibility of reprisal and harassment by regular unaffiliated fascists. Possibly fascists lower on the totem like local cops.

Edit. Shit I should read the rest of the thread before replying. I see you are fully aware of that. Eh well. Leaving it up because why not.
