I mean that’s fair enough. So in Brazil, for instance, people definitely need to be on FB and Insta, but also it’s important to maintain Brazilian and otherwise lusophone communist spaces on reddit, in case people do show up there.

More the way admins are running things.

It’s far easier to convince people who are new to socialism to join a community on a site they already use then migrate to a whole new website. You’re not thinking practically. The point is to maintain a presence wherever people are, not to form some secret society off in the corner. It makes sense for a niche fandom or some weird legally grey activities but for actually trying to build an international workers movement is self-defeating.

We have to consider our material conditions - this is where people are communicating and spending their time. The dedicated people will come here but where will the the ones who were more passive go? The people on the path to becoming dedicated and the people who may not have much revolutionary potential but would have repeated our rhetoric to other “normies”.

Obviously a space like this also existing is a good thing and should keep existing but to suggest we should all just flee the spaces where people are is just wrong. We need to be organising our in the open, in the streets, not hiding in some guy’s basement.

Lol, not really. Idiot conservatives will always ban shit for stupid reasons. Soviets banned stuff that was intentionally trying to stoke fascist uprisings in their country, which is what Orwell wanted.

Also using the term “critical thought” when praising animal farm is pretty ironic, lol

Is just an overhyped kid’s book, lol. Is exactly what it needs to be. I’m sure Seth is gonna be a bad ass Napoleon.

Idk I think leave this guy in the past. He’s a relic of the Cold War. We don’t need that propaganda anymore. There’s so many other, better dystopian fiction books out there that haven’t received their “definitive” adaptations, plus other more interesting original concepts people can do. Besides, maybe what people really need right now is people believing a better world is possible rather than accepting a crap one.
