Why should I have to hide my beliefs? I understand the concept of not making everything political, but everything that effects us is political. Or at least there is a political root cause of the situation/dilemma/what have you. If someone says something obviously wrong based on any sort of capitalist critique or dialectic material reason, then I should absolutely be able to shut them down and say why they are wrong. Regardless of if it is racist, classist, etc, they should be stopped and told otherwise, especially if in front of others. (If outnumbered obviously be cautious).
I’m tired of feeling not able to speak up about the oppression and fear and imperialism and colonialism and police state and the stupid libs and republicans and whatever. I don’t see any reason to hide if these asshole don’t have to.
I've been an "out" communist with my close friends and family for a while now. It's actually been really cool, people who weren't political before now come to me to ask about Marxism and for help understanding the incomprehensible mess of contradictions and propaganda in the corporate media. Everyone is scared and angry and can't make sense of any of this shit, so I think you'll find many people more receptive than you'd expect.
