      I have talked to people. That’s how I’ve found fellow socialists at work, alongside some others who are increasingly (and surprisingly) critical of capitalism and systematic issues affecting them.

      Obviously culture changes from place to place, I don’t know your circumstances, but I expected my workplace to be especially conservative.

        I was surprised how few people I work with are Republicans. Yeah it’s a union shop but it’s still hard to find in manufacturing. It may just be that they keep their mouths shut to avoid being outed, I don’t know.

          Maybe. It could also be just a general aversion of politics in the workplace, it’s usually not a good place to start (non-work related) political fights.

            Actually politics are pretty well discussed here, especially because of our current situation in the economy, plus talks of moving to Mexico.
