Who exactly are you trying to agitate? The right? They are agitated by the mere existence of anything but themselves and are currently mass incarcerating, murdering in the streets, and bombing the shit out of those who they think agitate them.
As far as among leftists, I’d remind you that commies don’t have sole claim to “the left”. There’s plenty of anarchists and socialists just as left as you but opposed to Chinese style bureaucracy and authoritarian structures. But I’d say in the face of Christian nationalism since all of our ideals are in the minority and facing political extermination because we’re all classified as terrorists these days, perhaps we should put arguing over our utopian differences and focus on what we have in common. Your agitation posts stir the wrong pot because anytime someone disagrees with you it’s “pedo”, “liberal”, or the dismissive “anarchy is for Hot Topic”.
Imagine if all the free time spent making commie shitposts for the purpose of agitating an enemy that doesn’t know (or care) about the differences between leftists and liberals and commies and anarchists was used to encourage solidarity between anti-fascists on what we do agree on rather than revert to political tribalism.
It's idiotic to suggest you stop debating. Theory isn't optional. It's the framework that separates effective action from performative gesture. You want to bypass clarification for the sake of "unity," but that's precisely how movements get absorbed, diverted, or broken. Action without theory isn't courage it's idiocy. And your theory contradicts itself: you call for a broad front while dismissing the most successful actually-existing socialist project that has lifted the most people from poverty, challenged imperialist containment most effectively, and created the most material space for the Global South. It's incoherent nonsense. Also side note, but every single even semi successful revolution has been some flavour of Marxist Leninist, this clearly isn't a fluke or luck.
You're correct that shitposting alone achieves little. But a coalition that includes those who uphold the imperialist state achieves less. The Chinese revolution for example didn't succeed by treating all anti-Japanese forces as equals. It succeeded by applying a materialist analysis to the principal contradiction at each stage, coordinating tactically when interests aligned, and never surrendering political independence. Unity isn't an abstract good, it's a conditional tool. Its value depends on clarity about objectives, adversaries, and the balance of forces.
So debate continues. Not for its own sake, but because sharpening theory is how you avoid repeating errors, co-optation, and strategic dead ends. You should organize with those who share a material commitment to dismantling imperialism, not just those who oppose fascism in the abstract. That isn't sectarianism, it's the precision necessary to build something successful.
I can't see what you are replying to, but thanks for putting this down properly.
