There are many being indoctrinated - esp on college campuses, on Reddit, etc.. they believe in communism, but merely don't accept the brand name. So call it something else like "Democratic socialism" and then they are all in. Guys like you will argue the miniscule potential definitional differences until the cows come home as communism is embraced by your cohort.
