2016 has shown how possible and utterly necessary it is to fight propaganda and dismantle mainstream media narratives. But our currents methods (basically, social media shitposting) are not enough. We need a more concerted effort imo.
We are a relative young board that still needs to grow.

We stop clinging to failed 20th century regimes and actually start addressing the problems of our own era instead of the """post-ironic""" idolization of quasi-fascist dictators like Stalin and Mao.

..and how exactly does that improve or creates mechanisms of shaping public opinion? Do they just appear out of thin air once you renounce Stalinism?

You gotta read a book, bud. Fascism isn't just "anything authoritarian"
Every time one of you faggots make a joke about gulaging kulaks or praising Stalin you reinforce the decades of state funded propaganda. It wouldn't matter if it only hurt tankies and maoists but it also makes actual socialist look bad because guilty by association and such
Mason Wilson
Yeah, fascism is opportunistic authoritarianism that hides its incoherence behind some metaphysical struggle.
Charles Martinez
I don't disagree with you but this is besides the point. The Left has all sorts of moderate, normie-friendly groups and discourses and they too struggle with lack of means to communicate those views with the wider public.
I also think a concerted effort by a network of small news, propaganda and communication groups both irl and online would be the best way for the Left to filter out these people you're describing.

Are you trying to imply Holla Forums had an effect on this election? Because they didn't. If you want to reach people you need to build ground game.

Holla Forums just latched onto it and got caught up in the Trump movement
The origins of Trump can be traced back to the 80s
