I think a more pertinent question is this:
Does being a part of an online socialist community increase a person's likelihood of taking part in "offline" socialist organizing?

5 0 ReplyThe thing about memes is that short, quippy ones are the ones that gain traction and get shared a lot. Much of theory is densely worded using terminology most people don't find accessible. In order to make effective communist memes, we have to simplify things, which necessitates a loss of nuance. That loss of nuance can lead to more harm than good.

5 0 ReplyPropaganda is important. It isn't everything, but it's important. Without commie memes there would only be non-commie memes.
