Offline outside the workplace I am shamelessly communist, shamelessly open about my politics being guillotines in hyde park, shamelessly critical of anyone that believes 24 witness accounts from criminals and dissidents with zero other tangible evidence that doesn't typically get debunked in under a week. I turn on the heat and critically attack people for believing that nonsense while openly recognising that iraq and every other war for the last 50 years was a lie. I see very little value in hiding who we are or what we believe. What we believe will eventually be proven right and their reaction when it happens will be "the communist told us this", I would rather have an immediate negative interaction for the eventual reflection the individual will have than the underhanded potential of a victory in the short term by coding my messaging. People don't need to be subtle-ey moved, they need to have revelatory changes inside their head that click and those revelations need to come from knowing that the information came from a socialist. I suspect this is probably easier in my country than it is in yours but I can't say for certain as I have no experience of the advanced hostility you might receive by being openly red over there. I hide absolutely nothing.
Inside the workplace I'm more subtle and focus not on changing anyone's views but on moving groups of people towards unionising. The politics themselves are irrelevant there, instead it's all about economic interests and building class consciousness. I avoid open politics in the workplace entirely because I don't want management sniffing out the fact I don't care one jot about the job and am only interested in the company to try and organise their workers.
