I’ve said it before but I’m tasked with setting up a youth movement for our party. One of the key things to do is, of course, appeal to the youth in order for them to join us. I’ve had a few meetings with our group now and while I will not claim I know better than the party, the course we’re taking is a bit of the same of our regular action groups. And I can see how that doesn’t work, especially for younger people.
So I’m looking for examples in literature on how to effectively reach out to the masses, with a focus on non-leftist or ‘regular’ people. One of the historical examples for this that I came up with is the Black Panther Movement. A young, radical movement. I was wondering if any of you guys know of literature written about their organizing power. You know, to use as a starting point for my journey.
I’m going to have a think for you. In the meantime, has the Maoist Internationalist Ministry of Prisons written anything useful? AFAIK they’ve organised in prisons, and may have documented their experience adapting propaganda programs: https://www.prisoncensorship.info/
Also, I think @yogthos@lemmygrad.ml posted a good video with Fred Hampton the other day. Might be a good place to start?
