One thing that would really help is if we could pose a sort of unified solution of anti-capitalism, degrowth, and personal thriving. Most people aren't going to want to put their lives on hold for some asserted better future 100-200 years from now, or to be fodder in the violent consequences of class war, or to save up a lot of wherewithal just to pin it to some all-or-nothing prospect of overthrowing the bourgeoisie.
But communism has just the tools to address this. You get together with like-minded people you can trust, share resources, make use of economies of scale, look after each other, make joint strategic decisions that the standard capitalist model doesn't promote but can't crack down on, develop informal/parallel economies, fly under the radar, maximize the drain on the state while minimizing the tax revenue it gets from you. It's like economic hacking.
