We gotta push newspapers like never before. Circulation is going down like crazy, which is why the proles are less class conscious than ever.

checks out

Newspapers are very important. Newspapers won the October Revolution. The absolute best thing a socialist can do is launch and distribute a newspaper. If your local group doesn't have a newspaper or doesn't sell enough newspapers split from 'em and make your own group with its own newspaper.

fair enough in that regard, but in the information age we live in now how thoughts are distributed now are very different from a hundred years ago. Newspapers have been a important part of history, but it seems the youth of the day have no appreciation for literature, they would rather get caught up in stupidity and calling everybody a "cuck" rather than actually sit down and understand the political philosophies they crusade for. They just gobble up whatever pragerU or sargon of akkad tells them. The right is succeeding because they're pandering to intellectual laziness. How do we either A, get people to read a book for once, or b, do what the right is doing but better?

I guess the autism level on this board really is higher.

I've been watching it with quiet amazement, wondering where on the journey he'll take them next.

Commie Breitbart when?

Drop the worship of centuries old dipshits. Follow praxis and use language that tailors to the needs of the day. That's the only way the left will be relevant

The old left is dead. Bury it or jump into the grave yourself

then what exactly do we replace the old left with? how do we modernize these ideas to apply to the current state of the western proletariat where society has made people as blind to class antagonisms as possible?

Focus on socio-economics and remove the people demanding everyone needs to commit their to their pet social issues from positions of authority. Right now, if you want to be a leftist you're immediately told you need to commit a certain set of opinions on a grab bag of social issues. Opinions that in all honesty range from the perpetually unpopular to the outright unpleasant. At the moment, anyone who disagrees with a single one of these social opinions is attacked to ensure they are driven out. The situation ensures that the left is largely incapable of serious growth.

With memes, comrade.

we should just target regular breitbart with some slick ass entryism

Some relevant reading 4u

I can't answer your question because I'm not educated enough but I do feel that trying to apply das kapital directly is suicide

Antifa-kiddies and smashies are the real revolutionaries. Marx is only good if you intend to larp as a russian in 1917 or not do anything

Newspapers were the memes of their day. The memesplosion caused by the Guternberg killed the Catholic Church. Nowadays, we need to shorten the discourse so that revolutionary outrage at the system is condensed into cheap slogans, image macros and cartoon mascots.

I propose a half internationalism. Internationalism in the form of state abolition should be encouraged with the utmost zeal since the complex nature of military technology these days makes targeting the supply chain easier. (Destroying military infrastructure is essential to preventing a rapid reactionary restoration). However, we should not try to impose one revolutionary program on all of society. Not only did it not work the first time, but several competing socialisms have a greater chance at arriving at a good solution than one singular socialism. Furthermore, the problem of left sectarianism will be solved, since such a patchwork of revolutions means that we can keep the various tendencies focused on building themselves up rather than tearing each other down.

well tbh that would be my preference

Also the preference of the state. Ever wonder why antifa are designated terrorists, anarchist professors fired from their jobs while marxists sit cozy where they are?

Make them read this. Tankies need to read it too.

How do you attract normies? You sit on an image board and autistically screech at people to read Engels and secularize yourselves into oblivion. normies love debating value versus use theory.

By unironically focusing on how capitalism detracts from the family and is antithetical to a healthy dynamic. You can't just target kids forever, you need to make the push to those fathers and mothers who know what its like to not see their kids for most of the day and who take the stress of their work to home. Once actual families are brought into the fold its only a matter of time before ideas spread through the extended. Its not even a new idea, almost every large labor and socialist movement in the 19th and 20th century incorporated the family in some aspect in their rhetoric, especially when at the time it was common for kids in the 19th century to lose fingers while working.

We get rid of the Bolshevik plague and focus on the libertarian tendencies, mainly the anarchists.
