I'm not a religious or superstitious person, but the more I've researched the connection between Pepe the Frog, and Trump's victory… I've come to believe in Meme Magick.
I believe the problem is that the leftist internet doesn't have a strong enough expressed will. We need a sigil of our very own, to unite leftists and dismantle unjust capitalist heirarchies.
I propose the use of Cats, Catgirls, and Cat-Memes to Unite Us. In the Early History of the IWW, workers took a starving cat as their mascot, and when the cat regained healthy they thrived. The controversy surrounding catgirls on reddit is a bad omen, and we must counter by spreading the symbol of socialist and anarchist cats worldwide, in all sorts of rare and valuable memes.
Should we use a modified version of baneposting? That magic is incredibly strong

Time to show Holla Forums the supremacy of centrally planned memes

Memes don't matter themselves. They are just expressions of the dynamics of the community that made them. Community and self-organization matters. Holla Forums didn't just make memes. They protested on every internet medium. They were everywhere. They could be easily reached and could be communicated to. This is populism, and this is how politics should be done. People want to talk about politics, they want to hear arguments for and against. You can become popular if you go out of your way to be with the people who are voting.
That's exactly what Holla Forums did.

Shoo shoo meme goblin!

We can use the Egyptian mythology as they do with Kek with the original catgirl Bastet.

I'd prefer Thor from the Norse mythology as Tor, the anonymizer. At least the names are alike. I think that's point with Lel and Kek.
I also recommend Pakal/Pacal from mayans, it means a disgusting Hungarian dish made from beef tripe. We could use it as an enemy God of porkies or something.

Well, learn something new every day

That has potential. Bastet, the IWW Anarcho-Syndicalist Cat, CatGirlDrawFag's Ideology Cats.
Imagine images of Bastet taking a swipe at a deranged pepe.
If we could create an easily exploitable format for memes, or spam it like Bane, use the icons on all of our web accounts, maybe even try to get a "trade" of rare ones going like Pepe, we might have something.
That's totally fair, but with a symbol, with a series of GETS, with coincidences including KEKs, PEPEs, and such across pop culture, they were able to rally around each other and find hope in an otherwise impossible seeming campaign.
Give us a similar symbol, and maybe people might be motivated to fight harder. People might over-come hopelessness and apathy, tell overbearing sectarians and gloating fascists that we won't take it quietly.
