Think what you want about these guys and their relationship with IDpol, but they were able to successfully unify the left in Spain. How can we emulate their tactics/rhetoric?
What can we learn from Podemos?

Soros shill. Fake leftist scum
very constructive answer. You talking about me or him?
Lame ass reformist.
So nothing to be learned from them then?
Their ability to form a coalition with every facet of the left can teach us nothing?
Can you explain?

Organizing ppl is paramount to any movement, whether reformist or revolutionary. They have been effective so far.
And they haven't yet sold out like syriza.
They're doing g something right if they can get animalistic to march with Tammie's.
*Animalists and tankies

They follow and further develop Gramsci's understanding of hegemony. Only way to fight current neoliberal hegemony is through a movement that develops its own hegemony. Since the original class antagonism is no longer that strong, it needs to be build on particular antagonisms (race, gender, etc.) that interlink and create new universalism (unlike idpol).
They have been critized for overlooking the class issue to much and basing their work on discoursive theory, but other than that its a perspective worth looking into, especially iwth some of the later Laclau's essays on populism
He is controlled "opposition".
we can learn that you never trust reformist scum.
Forgot to take off shitposting flag
If something can be learned from them is that television is still by far one of the most influential political mediums, and that its hegemony needs to be conquered.
We can learn from their brave rejection of el heteropatriarcado

Its just about speaking to people on their level and not going to caught up in historical symbol or jargon.
I've also heard the On Populist Reason by Lacau was a big inspiration for them. Its where all that niether left nor right just the people vs. the caste rhetoric comes from.
Someone using the LeftCom flag should know better than to believe in parliamentary reformists.
To never trust a guy with a ponytail
It's common knowledge that Soros gave a but load of money to Podemos
