The problem is it is a bait and switch, and people don't like to be tricked, and will just return to their programming once they've found it out. I've had a lot of success informally discussing socialist concepts with people, never hiding it, just not outright stating it is "communist" and that works pretty well, not doing it as a "gotcha" but as regular navel gazing can help people slowly but surely become more class conscious. The main thing is that they have to do the legwork themselves.
