The problem with that is that people aren't stupid, they just license themselves to going along with anti-communism, so when you're caught out you've alienated people. That's why revolutionaries should strive for honesty and transparency, rather than subterfuge and deception.

I mean yeah your right.

What do you think is the best way to open peoples eyes up to socialism and communism as a viable alternative to capitalism, or at least have them consider it?

Focus on the people that are radicalized but uneducated on theory. It's largely futile to convince those that benefit from the status quo, but for those that are actively seeking answers they come readily to communism.

Im trying this with someone I know who is currently a social democratic (very pro EU) but is open to conversation, we will see how I go.
