    Class struggle is intrinsic to communism, it’s important to show the working classes that our collective enemy isn’t each other, but the capitalists and the capitalist state. We need to align the working classes against our shared class enemy, not try to ally with those who support the systems supporting our class enemies.

        I’m referring to communism as the movement, not as communism the mode of production. In the far future where communism is achieved, there wouldn’t be individuals propagandized against communism, the lengthy process of getting there is through socialism by which point those contradictions are worked out.

        In the present day, capitalists are the enemy of the working classes. Trying to unite the working classes against them and their enablers, ie the GOP, DNC, etc, is a progressive struggle.

            You’re entirely confused. I live in the US Empire, of course I know people raised in capitalism. I’m not calling the working class my enemy, I’m calling for the working class to directly combat the DNC, GOP, and the entire capitalist class. I’m not conflating those who side with the capitalists despite being working class with the capitalist class, but recognizing that we need to do our best to show them who their actual enemies are and organize them.

            I think you misunderstood what they meant, when they said “capitalists” they meant those who own the capital and such, not people who believe capitalism works and socialism doesn’t. Propagandized individuals are only capitalists if they own capital.
