As communists, we must meet the people where they are at. That includes engaging on TikTok, and mastering short-form video content. Lady Izdihar showcases this brilliantly, taking inspiration from old-school bolshevik propaganda posters and informational leaflets into a contemporary format.

Sometimes it really feels like navigating an obstacle course.
I wish there was a way to block short-form shit everywhere, like ads.
