You have to pick your battles. You can’t get the average USian to love the word “communism”, but you can easily get them to hate billionaires and federal establishment corporatists.
So this is something I’ve observed. I can get right wingers to agree with leftist positions by identifying these problems as long as I don’t use the word “Communism.” But that does not make them end up joining up, they just take those ideas and go with strasserite shit. My big fear is that if we do not get people to understand that functional and effective solutions can only be found on the Left, they will turn to the Right for their solutions. They’ll want ‘socialism’ but only in one country, and only for themselves, hang the rest of the world.
