I’m looking for places to work, and I’d love to find somewhere where I don’t have to hide my political or economic positions from people I interact with on a daily basis.
When I search for “communist businesses in the US”, I get a long list of historical organizations that were the targets of HUAC, plenty of articles about investigations by senators into Chinese military companies, and other unhelpful garbage propaganda.
Surely there are some companies or organizations that are looking for employees, not just volunteers, but man are they hard to find.
What’s “hiding your positions”? I’m a Marxist but I don’t explicitly say that at work, if someone paid attention to my statements over time they might piece it together but I find that the vast majority of people do not give a fuck about politics and are incoherent on the subject. Now, a lot of them are CHUDs, if you mean you want to avoid that then it probably comes down to what area you live in more than anything.
I think spending time on this site skews our perception towards the idea that normal people know what a communist… is
I’m in a pretty isolated part of the US, and despite what we’ve got on here, the skewed idea of what a communist is isn’t hidden in my local community. People put up signs in their yards about how Biden was a communist during the last two election cycles, and I resisted putting letters in their mailboxes saying I wished he was the monster they think he was. Even most of my friends are very much on the chud side of things. It’s…difficult.
Based on how I’ve left my last two jobs and the search for a new one has gone, I started to wonder whether one of them realized what I was selling and how blacklists are still used.
