Do you ever think of if the Revolution ever happens that communist parties are so tiny and have been so antagonized that people might just not listen to them? (lemmy.ml)

In the West communist parties are tiny compared to the rest of the population and have been antagonized for almost a century.

I literally don’t know one American irl that knows what communism and socialism actually are and all of them just think that both of those are bad

Kind of like this

I am not so sure that westerners will listen to communist even when they are doing a Revolution. I think that probably a París Commune 2.0 will happen.

Parties can be small and then become quite big and a majority. The Bolsheviks were a minority, don't forget it. It works also the other way around, look how the SED disappeared.
