The right (The far right particularly) tend to stick with this Cold War capitalist tradition of calling anyone who is anti-capitalist a "Commie". Socialism isn't Communism and it seems being a Communist is still an insult. Should we try a educate people about what Communism is? Yet its difficult because the average man/women isn't generally going to sit down and read Marx. Most people don't know close to anything about their own political system, so how do we teach people that Socialism/Communism isn't the devil like the media has taught them.
Doesn't help that Socialists and Communists are more likely to be atheist than the Right. And we know how much the Right loves Atheists. :|
To be taken more seriously than "Some Preaching Commie" must we use force like the Neo-Nazi's? (Of course not) but if we are dismissed for speaking and cast into the shadow of the Beast which is Capitalism...
