Agree on socialist. Disagree on communist. I have gotten the most mileage out of normies calling myself a communist even when I was an anarchist. If I told them that id be dismissed, if I said I was a communist they'd be curious as to why and id get a conversation curiosity beats outright dismissal and has led to a decent amount of totally random interactions leading to people I've met on the bus or streets thinking differently. When you call yourself a communist you will need yo justify it,.which should be easy but it gives you at least the chance to state your point. If you call yourself a socialist people will just think radlib
