Unironically I think leftists need much much simpler explanations and summaries with examples so that 5 year olds can understand in order to radicalize more reactionaries. With a lot more pictures as well.
Our party has started a youtube channel that condenses Marxist theory into episodes with sketch like humour. I hope it works. The first vid was about the myth of free market capitalism.
you should share that youtube channel
It’s called Fakto. Needs more attention imo, but we’re working on it.
I checked it out and subscribed even though I don’t speak Dutch because I really adore the concept and enjoyed your free market video. I used the auto-translated captions (guessing it translates from the auto-generated Dutch captions, it seemed to work fairly well) but having official captions in English and Dutch to make sure the lines are being translated correctly would be great
Reactionaries not learning is not due to lack of simpler explanations, it is due to not seeing any material benefit in changing themselves.
Some aren’t reactionary, some are just silly goofballs that like to add eggs to 5 minute ramen and be gay, they can learn a little from simple explanations.
Know your audience.
Ah shit, I was eepy, didn’t read the first comment my bad g gang gang
This is why political cartoons have been such effective propaganda tools in history. It’s cool to think about how memes have essentially fulfilled the same role today.
Tbh, sometimes I feel like I need that 😔
but will you able to tell that 1 coat = 10 yards of linen?
To counter opinions said here: books like Capital, in the sense of being a text that goes as throughout as possible in the subject it adresses, are very much needed as so it is for all principled communists to read and understant them. Yes, they are dense and no one said it would be easy to go through them, but they are like this for a reason. The main target of condensed and simplified theory on the other hand should be people who are still on the fence about communism or who have crossed it very recently.
Edit: grammar.
There are a lot of examples of things in Capital which absolutely do not need so many paragraphs to explain them.
