A closet commie is a person who is a communist, yet is afraid to tell others that they are a communist. Oftentimes a factor of fear as being labeled as a communist is the cause of being a closet communist.
"I've taken several political ideology tests, I've read Marxist books, but yet I haven't told anyone I'm a communist yet".
- "Dude, you're a closet commie!"
Closet Commie is another euphemism for Leftist, also known as Moderate, Progressive, or Liberal. Sometimes call themselves "New Lefties", but routinely disavow the hard-core Bolsheviks, who were well known for the infamous "Red Terror", consisting of violently attacking religious or patriotic figures, often killing same, destroying property property and causing serious, gratuitous injury, even to innocent bystanders and passersby. Such generally have had positive media coverage and even police and prosecutorial support, though they often attack such authorities violently.
The CNN anchorman was a closet commie; he wouldn't label ANTIFA as terrorists or Leftists themselves.
