"As revolutionaries, we don't have the right to say that we're tired of explaining. We must never stop explaining. We also know that when the people understand, they cannot but follow us. In any case, we, the people, have no enemies when it comes to peoples. Our only enemies are the imperialist regimes and organizations." Thomas Sankara, 1985

I've strangely never been perma banned from a sub, probably because i just don't interact with many libs beyond leftist subs that act as gateways into more radical politics like LSC. I've been heavily down voted before and was almost banned from LSC for telling a fascist to walk into traffic but the mod unbanned and just advised that I'm not as explicit next time, but that I should be all good.
I probably get into the most arguments on the California sub, LSC (though oddly enough it's usually with other Marxists who are just not engaging with materialism), and the Bernie sub. The last I mainly just comment for the sake of catching a few baby leftists into anti-imperialist politics. While the first I'd just me argueing with neolibs and trying to agitate for people to expand their political consciousness.
LSC is honestly the one I comment on the most where I'll sneak some good posts by comrades here on grad that I feel explain Marxist concepts well. I've found that I'm best at educating people sympathetic to socialism but don't quite understand what Marxism is or why Communists operate in the way that we do. Interlinking concepts together from around the world is probably what I am best able to communicate, getting people to answer a question they were asking by themselves.
To put it short, I like to yap and lecture, and am pretty good at enthralling people who were willing to ask for input.
Though I'm always trying to improve. I think my main blindspot comes from dispelling why socialist state structures are qualitatively different from capitalist ones. Especially in a way that sounds appealing. For me it was enough to just show the material improvements compared to what cake before and what was around them but for a lot of people that's just not something they hold stock in for whatever reason.
