Have you ever organized for a union? All the best union organizers I know (a lot) just go out there and build community through a leftist lens. They never bring up Marx or Lenin or anything like that they just go out there and help their comrades see how they're being exploited and how by working together they can be exploited less.

Leftism in the US is going to come from the unions, and not a single member will need to read Lenin to understand it.

not trying to attack the truism i replied to for being what it is, but there are several steps missing and i'm apparently too ND to make them.

i've had coworkers who are hostile, completely alienated, or things like having one boss and one subordinate and there's no collective to bargain. I'm sure being visibly pinko is step one to doing anything in a place where you have more than 10 workers and people socialize cordially on the job.
