Figure out how to talk about socialism/communism/Marxism without using the terms us nerds use, even avoid socialism in general as term. Make your language common tongue to avoid both misunderstanding and red scare bs.
Most people I have found actually want to talk about this stuff if you don’t make them feel stupid or bad about who they are/what they do.
Don’t talk about it all the time, pick your moments, especially when it comes up organically (like elections or a new law or poverty or whatever it may be), it takes time to learn, I suggest using reddit /r/politics and /r/news to practice the mindset of engaging with non-radicalized people I n’a productive manner.
I speak three languages at work and my language can be weird sometimes. I agree with you, it sounds like I’m telling them to not talk about it and I don’t mean that at all.
