I have a license plate that basically says I'm a communist.

I look over on the left side and see this https://streamable.com/7prl54

He did it probably 20-30 times while also pointing to the back of my car (to point out my license plate)

    This, normalize bringing up socialist talking points with friends and good work friends

      I've been amazed at how open most people are to overtly communist ideas. The aesthetics of communism are ruined in the west, but the theory is still good. People know that it's right, they've just been told that communism is actually capitalism.

      All really easy conditioning to break on an individual level with like 3 beers and a rant about wages.

          I let them bring up anti-Soviet stuff and just kinda play along and get them to actually investigate their assumptions. No one comes in with educated anti-Soviet stuff, just "I read this meme" or "I remember being told in highschool" type stuff.

          I'll usually just come in with "man can you believe that even the USSR had a 2 consecutive month vacation setup? We don't even get a week!" Or "renting is such a fucking scam. 40% of our pre-tax paycheck out the window to service some lazy landlord. Wild how even the Soviets limited rents to 3% of monthly income"

          A slow and steady wins the race approach

        This, as long as you don't say socialism or Marx then 9 times out of 10 you get them agreeing that healthcare is rigged and the peeps should take it over since we pay for it with taxes and wages.
