Yeah, it’s a tough one. The whole system is set up to avoid the formation of class consciousness, or even just basic self interested action like unionising. Dealing with decades and generations worth of multi-vector propaganda.

I think those commies who do free tail light replacement (etc) type events are on the right track as far as praxis goes. Just doing helpful stuff without expecting reward but making your political allegiance clear. “I’m a socialist and I have your back because we are on the same team” type beat. I think that sorta shit is the most effective and accessible way to start chipping away at the problem.

I should get a small dingy with a communist flag (or similar) before the next big flood here. Same for my truck. Just any time you can volunteer your time to help people, do a little bit of optics on the side without preaching any theory. Wear your ideology shirt when you’re spontaneously dropping a few cases of water off at a picket line during a local strike. Just start helping people recognise that “we’re the good guys” by doing and not telling.
