Well by "intellectually" I meant to indicate that they were not actually practising Communism :). By Communist I was covering a lot of different things I've observed: 1. Perfectly intelligent and reasonable people wearing Lenin badges 2. People talking without irony about "dismantling the Capitalist system" 3. People who actively engage with Marxist ideas and view Marx as a thinker with ideas that are readily applicable in the current political climate. There's certainly Hyperbole in what I said. I would view even much lesser things as a bit "Commie" but I'm coming from a very different background. They would view me as a neo-liberal or a Centrist depending - I don't really know if I am...but sure you get what you get and you don't get upset...
