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.

    It's easy to be out if you don't say the S word or C word (socialism/communism). Just say stuff like you think everyone should have access to housing and food and healthcare, even if they choose not to work. Say that you don't think businesses should be able to exploit worker by underpaying them. Telling them you don't trust the "free market" to be ethical in these matters and you'd prefer the government step in in a big way. 95% of people wouldn't recognize this as communism or socialism anyway because they're idiots.
