"Communism!" - yay, great PR.
"Socialism!" - see above.
"Social justice!" - fuck Sweden.
If you want to use labels, pick something sensible.

Even the alt-right isn't retarded enough to use the Swastika as their icon.
Why is the Left letting its enemies choose its symbols?

Trying to find a way to critique current state of capitalism. w/o referencing Marx. Or maybe just go with U/ACC & hope for the best. Any ideas?

The problem is most communists won't.
