    While I mostly agree with everyone you say, I still believe one has to meet the masses where they are found, and increasingly among younger people, this is on mainstream social media sites, so a little bit of both.

      I never said not to use popular social medias, but to use them specifically for the purpose of spreading ideology. The sites like this one where we aren’t censored or as censored need to be spaces of planning, discussion and getting propaganda. Then we should go to popular socials specifically to spread these beliefs and propaganda into communities outside our own echo chambers.

      “You need to see every corner of the internet as a city to influence and people to bring towards the movement as best as possible. That’s our biggest weak point in the Left in terms of influence, the lack of mass mobilization and spread of influence.”

      though we might have to figure out how to get around censorship and surveillance in these corporate platforms if we want to keep using them.

        Which can only really happen with a primary space sharing tips and tactics to do so without as much or any censorship. That’s why I made Redline Media Institute. And for the rest of the Left who doesn’t make content, that’s what spaces like this one and the others is for. A place to speak freely and plan and then know how to carry ourselves on the corporate sites as we spread influence.

      Too many braindead antimaterialists who think that their ideas or conscientiouses create reality.

        True but if you look at the careers of every successful revolutionary they did tons of reading, writing, and getting the word out. Don’t discount theory, communication and networking. That’s not idealism, that’s putting ideas into action.

          Facts, this was exactly what I did after I studied theory and got self-activated to organize with the organizations I belonged to.
