    you accidentally dunked a lot of communist parties out there, the brazillian communist party for example shun militants that make youtube channels and have kinda of a conservative view on leninism that printed paper is the only true way.

    anedoticly i say that internet propaganda works, if you know how to surf the algorithm and bypass some limitations of private monopolies, i never met personally a communist or seen a printed paper in my life, i got into marxism via internet propagandists

      I on purpose dunked on a lot of communists in general, lolol this early 2000s take on the internet and its effects is why the right dominates online discourse which directly relates to politics around the world. We need to get more open and comfortable radicalized on the internet, the right is doing it and succeeding and we are handing out newspapers at events like anyone is remotely interested in that aside from like 5 nerds (I’m one of those nerds, I love newspapers, but let’s be real).

        Totally. I’ve been a part of those “newspapers groups” before and it’s cringy as shit. There’s a lot of old blood in these organizations who are dogmatic about doing things the way they were done pre-internet age.
