Comment on Should leftists who are anti-authoritarian use the term "comrade"?

OOof good luck, I tried to say that all the soviet imagery was off-putting to people who might be interested in socialism, in the interest of more widespread support. No one liked that idea at all, seem more interested in making memes.

You’re not wrong though. I’ve definitely had pretty left leaning (not overtly socialist) friends see the word “comrade” and immediately assume communism. I don’t like the word personally but I’m learning to get used to it as I find more socialist circles irl. It’s hard to separate it from the memes.
