oh yeah, definitely! i agitate toward socialist (and anarcho-syndicalist) policy at every chance i get! On top of that, I’m also continuously attempting to plant subliminal ideations toward it among people with whom i interact on a daily basis putting it in terms my propaganda-poisoned colleagues’ minds might actually grasp–
'if only we could decide this democratically, huh?`
‘after all, we’re the ones who actually have to do the work and see how things transpire here on the front lines of the whole operation…’
‘nobody upstairs knows how things work around here better than us.’
‘btw don’t we have some kind of right to peaceably assemble and petition for redress of grievances, ACTUALLY…?’
‘idk i just like democracy bro ;3’
‘kinda sucks how our tax dollars are being spent to prop up a genocidal regime so they can give their citizens free healthcare while we’re stuck with nothing, doesn’t it…’
‘hey if you want cheaper eggs, i know a place near here…! it’s a co-op market owned and operated by the local farmers and a dozen fresh eggs is like … sometimes HALF of what the big chain stores charge!’
“ohhh i’m so sorry to hear your cable company treats you that way…! it’s awful! y’know, it seems like every time people ask a corporation to handle infrastructure it just makes more waste, fraud and abuse… but as for me, the fiber optic line to my house is fast and stable and cheap, and it’s owned by all us residents in my town. Municipally owned! I would love for you to have that too. wouldn’t you? why not ask your neighbors how they feel about it?”
all of these examples are exaggerated and hyperbolic for illustrative purposes. i usually have to be a lot more subtle in order to avoid tipping them into a performative faux-patriotic ‘four legs good two legs bad’ thought terminating cliche fugue state.
turns out everything people hate about communism is actually just stuff capitalism does.
Say it louder for the people in the back
But we have to be moderately responsible for the outcomes instead of just throwing our hands in the air and giving up!
