Whenever there’s some issue that rustles liberal feathers, I’ll see post upon post about how frustrated people are with <insert issue here> on Instagram stories. I’ve actually had some success sliding up on their Instagram stories and sharing my communist perspective on whatever pissed them off. Success being, they are receptive to these ideas and are willing to learn more after their first exposure.
I’m not saying I’ve seen this here, I’m new here of course, but I find online leftists always seem to immediately point to literature when a liberal asks in good faith to be educated on communism. And of course any self respecting Marxist would recommend reading literature, and anyone who genuinely wants to learn more absolutely should read literature; but I believe it’s extremely important to put effort into our initial explanations before referring an interested liberal to literature.
Does anyone else have a similar experience radicalizing people through social media?
Right, I should clarify the radicalization success I’ve had was with previously apathetic people that identified as “liberal”, likely without truly understanding its meaning. A true lib, entrenched in their ideas, is a very tough nut to crack. Not worth our time.
