The prototypal modern day communist is in their 20s and (along with most/all young people) thinks its impossible for the old to understand anything deeper about political theory than what's within the American overton window. They are talking communism with their college classmates, not you, and they know not to reveal their power level to strangers.
I talk politics with people and very openly describe myself as a leftist. I think it’s safe to say they would tell me they’re communists.
Considering the political climate in the US I would not openly signal I have communist ideals to a stranger, “leftist” or not.
Ok.
If we are to assume communists do not out themselves, how do these people find those communists?
