>>1816393>Uhh i speak with them because i am one and speaking is neccesary for our operations….Its much easer to speak to people if you don't explicitly label yourself in advance, or use (in my culture) more neutral, academic sounding lables like "marxist", which all comes down to the same thing.
The largest substantive marxist party in my necks of the woods is the PVDA in belgium, which internally is hardline ML with a two-tier cadre membership, but to the outside it does not call itself communist. Your local conditions may be different. A label is just a tactical consideration that plays into the local connotations. Russian communists obviously would call themselves communist, polish obviously wont, even if they follow the same general programme.
This board is a fucking joke of unread unorganised people and retards replying to things that were never said, such as you, you think i said you don't speak to people. I never said that. I said that when you call yourself communist 30% of the working class, if not more, where I live, will automatically dismiss you, call you evil, and get into screaming matches with you. With a label such as marxist-socialist or something like that, much less. This makes organising on the ground much easier.
