No. It is because while I like Marx myself and have read Das Kapital, most online ML are:
So while I may miss out on some cool people by excluding those spaces, if I look for OTHER leftist terms the 5th gen warfare slaves aren't as aware of or into, then I can avoid them more and avoid their brainrot and concentrate on factual info and things that help me.
It's also why I call myself an abolitionist first (when abolitionism and socialism/communism are the same thing), because there's no way the current slave empires being grown will bring attention to their slavery by astroterfing THAT term. In fact, you can often get bots to abruptly block you or delete their comments (when normally they engage constantly on everything) by asking them if they are a slave. On Instagram, TikTok, Twitter, Telegram, Tumblr, everywhere I've tried this line ("NPR says bots like ypu are slaves. Are you a slave? Do you need help?") on people that I suspect are bots/slaves, I've gotten blocked and they deleted their comments. And I first learned bots are usually slaves in big slave networks from an NPR Planet Money episode.
You can easily identify the 5th gen warfare terms btw by seeing repeated phrases or stances and asking those people/bots the slave question - if they block and delete, it is digital warfare of some kind.
And as always, I can give sources, but only ask if you actually want to read them. Shit is effortful af, that's part of why I'm leaving here for a place where people have a hopefully higher level of civil rights knowledge.
Oh and last, I include social democrats because they tend to be educated in how the government works and in organizing, and a lot of older people ended up and social democrats due to McCarthyism. They tend to still be a little rad and worth making community with even if I really don't agree on everything. These are your local librarians and science teachers who are very amicable to discussion etc.
