Is agitprop even worth it? I got 3 dislikes and a comment saying "I FOUND ONE" as if I'm some pokemon in under 5 minutes. What could have been done better to persuade more and spark genuine discussion? I'm new to agitprop, so any advice helps especially if it's coming from experience.

Thanks! And you hit the nail on the head, the controversial and harder to tackle concepts come after the basics, which are easier to grasp and more capable of being taught. We often let past generations and their nuance dominate the present, when all it really takes to get liberals to begin to see our frame of view is starting with basic principles.

Even among ourselves, from our memes to our effort posts, we talk a lot more about history and current events than about theory. Recently I've been wishing we'd discuss more about theory, not only because we don't talk about it enough even tough we really don't, but also because I like talking about economics and philosophy more than about history.

lenin-pointing We need more memes about dialectical materialism, falling rates of profits and alienation.

I agree! Would be a fun way to try to sharpen our skills.
