These are the guidelines I used for italics from that site:
Italics Underlining and Italics are often used interchangeably. Before word-processing programs were widely available, writers would underline certain words to indicate to publishers to italicize whatever was underlined. Although the general trend has been moving toward italicizing instead of underlining, you should remain consistent with your choice throughout your paper. To be safe, you could check with your teacher to find out which he/she prefers. Italicize the titles of magazines, books, newspapers, academic journals, films, television shows, long poems, plays of three or more acts, operas, musical albums, works of art, websites, and individual trains, planes, or ships.
Time Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare The Metamorphosis of Narcissus by Salvador Dali Amazon.com Titanic Italicize foreign words.
Semper fi, the motto of the U.S. Marine Corps, means "always faithful." Italicize a word or phrase to add emphasis.
The truth is of utmost concern! Italicize a word when referring to that word.
The word justice is often misunderstood and therefore misused.

Having said that, I think you should take artistic liberty, and if it looks good to you, then do it, as long as it is adjusted only to the point of creativity and not beyond that point where creativity begins to destroy the end product by overworking it. I don't think those are the exact words you used to explain that to me, your explanation was better, but hopefully you will know I am talking about what you told me.
Most of all, have fun with it!
As to the use of the term "communist" and "collectivist" and "socialist" to help the criminals hide that they are criminals is a battle that we keep repeating, so I can give up and I can merely ask you which label, today, do you want to help cover up the crimes done by the criminals?
The criminals call themselves those terms. Some communists hide that they are communists until it become fashionable to be communist. If they call themselves those terms is it not wise to know what those terms entail so one can fight that type of criminal?
Murderers, rapists, robbers (with or without badge) do certain deeds. I suppose I would rather run into a robber than a rapist, and a rapist rather than a murderer. If faced with the 3 at once, I'd take care of the murderer first, then the rapist, then the robber, even though they all wear the label criminal.
We frequently speak of extortion and robbery done by those with a badge and done to us. In a communist country where everything is supposedly owned by everyone, if you get out of line, they simply reassign your benefits to someone more worthy and demote you. Perhaps a teacher uses a Bible to teach literature. Perhaps the students complain. Perhaps the teacher is no longer murdered but is made to suffer economically. And because the "people" own all things commonly, then that teacher cannot in their own initiative jump-start their livelihood because the market is not free. You and I could loose everything for the things we have written in your book if we were in a communist country. So far in this terrible land of America, we can write whatever we want, but we are probably being put on some type of list. When the communists in our country have enough power, we may be expropriated. Because I happen to think that the government people that we speak against are those communist individuals who have taken control. And I am not saying that those people originated in the USSR, either. That group of communists, as well as the Chinese group of communists may have been home grown on US soil. Who knows. Or maybe some other country. Who knows. But those criminals use utopian thinking people to gain power, like the Fabian Socialists who joined the Bolsheviks but become disillusioned and parted ways. I think it is a good idea to know what kind of criminals lurk behind those cloaks and know what kind of dagger they hold.
And I don't know why you never want to call out the communists for what kind of criminals they are. Why do terms always have to be generalized? The communist hippies in the 60's were grown by communists with a plan, and that plan was to incorporate economic criminal socialism which is extortion until we the people became so week and we the people in government became so unproductive and counterproductive that we the people will raise the communist banner ourselves. So when we the people own everything, no one but the party elite will control the assets and we will not dare step out of line. Right now we pay is taxes, then we will pay with the ability to receive income.
So we need to end the fed, the irs and bring our troops home, and be sure that we are on the right side of the fight to do so.
