This one time my dad was talking about Karl Marx and said he was “born in Russia”, and I corrected him that he was born in Germany. And then he got argumentative and started spouting out other facts about “Karl Marx”, like that he overthrew the Czar and lead the Red Army…
Suddenly I realized… “Dad, you’re thinking of Vladimir Lenin, not Marx.”
My dad realized I was correct and replied: “Well of course you would know that.”
i dont hide that im a communist. not at work or school or anywhere. if im trying to be palatable i say socialist. i get threatened with violence but no one has actually tried me yet lol
Same, if anything people just go “oh cool” and move on where I’m at. But, it’s a huge major city and I don’t really go a ton of places regularly, so it’s not like I go out inviting trouble
yeah its rarely a problem, only people who freak out are veterans and some gusanos. also your silence will not protect you
Mostly I get bemusement, curiosity or polite resentment
