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.

      I use Bernie as a bridge to bringing up the class nature of the Democratic Party, how the capitalists are hostile to even basic reforms, and why we need independent working class politics.

      The problem with Bernie wasn’t just that he was too far to the right, but he was trying to push reforms in a political party that represents the class that is opposed to reforms.

        Bernie Sanders is the fucking gift that keeps on giving, even if he is a lib.

        • He did a lot to remove the dirt on socialism's name.
        • He radicalized large portions of multiple generations.
        • He's a living example of media corruption.
        • He's a living example of DNC corruption.
        • He outted all the shitstain capitalists pretending to give a fuck about anyone
        • He exemplifies exactly how far the system is willing to go to stop even mild reforms.
        • He lost twice. Never gets to fail to live up to the hype, serving as an unadulterated symbol of righteousness and a constant reminder of what could have been...making people look for other avenues for praxis.

        Think about it. Would this forum even exist without Bernie? Likely not.

        I disagree with him on a lot, but he's done as much as possible for the real left without getting his cranium blown off by the CIA. #1 lib for sure.
