Welcome again to everybody. Make yourself at home. In the time-honoured tradition of our group, here is the weekly discussion thread.
☭ Matrix homeserver and space
☭ Theory discussion group on /c/[email protected]
☭ Find theory on ProleWiki, marxists.org, Anna's Archive, libgen
This is a Dengist community in favor of Bashar al-Assad with no information that can lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton, our fellow liberal and queen. This community is not ironic. We are Marxists-Leninists.
See this GitHub page for a collection of sources about socialism, imperialism, and other relevant topics.
This community is for posts about Marxism and geopolitics (including shitposts to some extent). Serious posts can be posted here or in /c/GenZhou. Reactionary or ultra-leftist cringe posts belong in /c/shitreactionariessay or /c/shitultrassay respectively.
We have a Matrix homeserver and a Matrix space. See this thread for more information. If you believe the server may be down, check the status on status.elara.ws.
Rules:
I agree.
Do you see ML podcasts as a way of spreading class consciousness?
I think they're one way, but they're overused; we have so many at this point and they sometimes just repeat themselves.
I just want better quality, I guess.
I suppose it depends on who the podcast is for: if it’s to dispel western capitalist propaganda about socialist countries, (i.e, @millennialchaos’ Radio Free America; which dispels propaganda against People’s Korea) who’s target audience are liberals in the Imperial Core; repetition of certain points is helpful to bring a point across to as many people as possible. When it comes to ML podcasters, the more people influenced by them, the better.
In short; you, as an ML; probably aren’t the target audience for the podcasts you are referring to.
Even so, I don't like podcasters and other influencers generally. The drama they get into and gatekeeping is done.
I also find that they oversimplify things.
Fair enough. Still, it couldn’t hurt to have more of them; or the existing ones gaining more popularity; in my opinion. There are pros and cons to any format of agitation; podcasters and influencers are 1) more modern, and 2) More effective when it comes to radicalising the younger generation, in particular. They just aren’t for everyone, and that’s okay.
I agree, I just feel that there's a dearth of activism and organizing, that's all
