This is an issue related to the political and economical system that you said you don't care about
You don't understand.
80% of people will think you're an idiot if you advocate for communism.
60% of people will think you're an idiot if you advocate for capitalism.
90% of people will agree with you if you tell them the growing power of elites and the gap between the rich and the poor is a problem.
If you're trying to convince people that communism is a great idea, you're fighting a lost cause. If you use either the word communism or capitalism, you have already lost the argument and people's attention. On the other hand, if you address actual problems, people will support you. Language matters!
(Btw, I pulled these numbers out of my ass. But you get the idea.)
The majority of people a century ago though you are stupid if you support women voting. It is a shame that most people has no principle anymore and abondon easily when something is too hard
