Keep in mind that even peaceful demonstrations can lead to legal consequences. Learn the laws in your area, and be prepared to be chastised and possibly even arrested for participation in political demonstrations.

Join a co-op. For a small annual fee, you can take part-ownership of your food distribution source. Most co-ops also offer opportunities for members to share their labor, as well.

Treat your employees well if you are an employer. Pay all employees a fair, living wage, and allow them to participate in the direction, profits and ideally the ownership of the company.

Advance the cause of labor if you are an employee. Participate in labor unions and employee organizations, and advocate for your fellow workers. If labor is not organized in your place of business, do your part to make this happen.

Avoid causing physical or mental harm other people in the course of your revolutionary activities. Becoming an oppressor yourself will not further the communist cause, and will only land you in jail!

How do I tell my close friends and family I'm a communist without incurring judgement?

Be a great example of a good communist, as described above. When they notice and ask why, that is a good time to share. It takes patience.

You put CPUSA, yet they endorsed Hillary Clinton and are very uncommunist.

CPUSA deals with objective reality well. To work effectively in the real world, they often have to support, not endorse, people they are not in agreement with and/or don't like. This is in accordance with Leninist principles. CPUSA has a 97-year track record of effective struggle for the working class, while seldom getting the credit.

Can communism implement democracy in a way that is conducive to civilization?

wikiHow Contributor

It depends on what you mean by 'communism.' A lasting Communism must be voluntary - taxation is not considered to be such by leading philosophers. Communism in its current incarnation is heavily Marxist, which is causative of corruption. Implementing voluntary communism can be done within a democratic society, provided that it casts off the problems inherent in Marxist ideology.

Shouldn't you list PCUSA instead of CPUSA?

No. CPUSA has the unenviable position of being a revolutionary party in a country that is not yet ready for revolution. To try and force progress upon a population is useless and counterproductive. PCUSA is a break off group that could not abide by the decision of the CPUSA majority.
