    Default Alternative names for communism

    As the title says. I'm mostly looking for a synonym for anarchism or communism I can use in a paper without being approached by teachers and such. Only high school so they're more critical of anything non-status quo. I was thinking democratic confederalism, but that's already being used so might confuse some

    Do not use an alternative name. If you want to evade the attention of your teachers, be passive aggressive: i.e. refer to communism in a way that is less incriminating.

    I.e. "A truly free society", "a truly democratic society", "a society where the logic of democracy is taken to its highest conclusion", "a society by, for, and of the people" and whatever you want. Refer to it in these passive aggressive ways.

    Well the social democrats fucked up social democracy even more than "Communists" fucked up communism. Full socialism with socialist characteristics, the really-free market, a society for the common good, tyranny of the majority(maybe better for the DotP), world with no rulers, communal democracy

    Okay, we'll add an extra 'm' on the end, but that's as far as we'll go -- !

    Thank you all for the ideas, I'll be using Economic Democracy for now. Thirsty Crow I like yours as a definition but its a bit wordy to put in the title area.
