My favorite activity for a minute now is to ask people the definitions and differences between socialism and communism. It's entertaining.
But you're wasting their time, and yours.
Instead say, "I like this candidate. She wants to tax the rich."
I once explained some socialism ideas on Reddit. One user called me a communist, another a Nazi. It was a very confusing pair of responses but said more than either would ever know.
Because outside of a class room the terms are meaningless.
The PRC is still officially Communist, and has billionaires.
It's not technically communist (yet), but it is support to be socialist ("with Chinese characteristics").
o0o in a similar vein, i like to ask them if they are pro fascism or anti.. reminding them that they really only get to pick one.. and watch them squirm as their programming conflicts
which is hilarious as they generally also couldnt define fascism if their life depended on it
