I asked a transphobe a question in a very hostile way, but not suggesting anything hateful or violent. But I got banned for promoting hate. Got ultra banned from the whole website.

      Nah, use it to agitate.

      Communists often talk about the crucial importance of revolutionary agitation and propaganda. And with good reason. Together, agitation and propaganda, are a mighty and indispensable weapon in the Party’s revolutionary arsenal.

              How is agitation on one of the largest platform on the internet somehow less real then, lets say spreading propaganda trough posters in a city?

              As Stalin put it, “A whole generation of the revolutionary proletariat was reared by Pravda

                like its fascinating to me that first of all reddit is where you think you’ll find yourself making meaningful change by replying to kink_haver_43 about why his thoughts on chinese economic policies are flawed like even if you aren’t immediately banned from >subreddit for being mildy sympathetic to china because anything that isn’t direct hatred of all chinese people is now >supporting genocide. like you’re rolling around in shit and trying to argue with people that they’re rolling in shit. online is a good tool to stay informed but most of reddit thinks that ukraine is winning the war and that the ghost of kiev died the other day so you’re either spending your days being edgy and contrarian on a website that is probably a CIA media outlet or at worst you’re wasting your time entirely trying to argue with 1000 CIA bot accounts on a liberal website. so yes, going outside and talking to the people and spreading the message is actually better than being online because at least then you’re being class conscious and able to engage in real conversation in ways that can’t be explored in text based comment reply systems

                  You are wasting time arguing with kink_haver_43 for sure, but thats nothing new. Nobody is saying thats good revolutionary praxis. And no, you will not be banned for mildy supporting China. I do it almost everyday.

                  What will get you banned is trolling, spamming and saying things like «all nazis should be dead». However, VPN is cheap/free. Banned on Reddit is not something thats hard to get around.

                  What i know, is there is possibilty to spread videos and news trough trial and error. Ex. nihilist subreddits is a easier place to organicly grow your propaganda posts before crossposting to others. Doing this, you can check how many are clicking on your post, how many times its been shared etc. trough reddits analytics page. A simple video with ~200-300 upvotes is easily 30k viewers on just 1 subreddit in 2 hours. Usually i crosspost to 4-5 more ending with ~100k views in ~24 hours. Do you know how many subs i would need on ex YouTube to get those views? How will you beat those numbers by talking to people irl? Imo both online and irl agitation are equally necessary.

                  Its not about winning Kink_haver_43 over. Its about winning over anyone else reading the exchange. Even if you get banned for it people see truth and then see you silenced for it. It may only effect one person but isn’t that worth it?
