A single AI image costs the same amount of energy as half of a full charge on a phone btw, could have just made it yourself or hung out with some artists and pitched them this idea, they would have done it for free if you're friendly; making this stuff though, not gonna make many artist friends!

thats because it was made in some random server in LA based on a bunch of stuff stolen from working class artists

one and the same people tbh

cringe that you support this slop

When African states go communist (marxism-leninism) they experience rapid growth and social progress, me too.

As Communists, it’s important to engage with even reactionary-controlled spaces in order to agitate

I tend to agree but think this needs re-evaluated in the digital age where engaging in these controlled spaces can be used to stamp down on comrades through the repressive state apparatus. It was just last decade that communists & trade unionists in Scotland where being added to an employment blacklist based on there social media presence.

this is essentially the “if you dont like capitalism why do you exist in it

nope, its more like dont send all of your details to the people you are trying to dismantle lol, missing the point.

is it praxis now to give ad revenue to elon musk, the seig heiling guy? should we have been begging hitler for a spot in his newspapers? or should we have seized thoses presses and made our own newspaper?

defeatism, its empty because no one is there and im not going there because its empty so we're going to continue giving zuckerburg ad revenue

i dont really understand how you propose promoting an org or doing mass communications.

1 - going outside and distributing propaganda to the public

2 - engage with your local community through activism

3 - setup your own orgs website and direct people too it

you cant use the masters tools to break the masters home comrade, mainstream social media is designed to filter people like us out and at worst suppress/hunt down people like us; take lessons from the red scare or how twitter and facebook work to suppress the working class and inform fascist regimes all over the world, if you invest into the tools of the upper class you're just honey potting yourself.

by that logic no org member should own a phone because it could be traced, or because its produced by capitalist businesses.

not what im saying at all, you can create your own risk profile suited to what you're doing; as an induvidual you're still driving engagement with social media but its not the biggest deal ever

if you're out protesting and bring your phone though? terrible OPSEC, it can be used to geolocate and prosecute you.

for a massive orgs comms?

undermines the anti-capitalist messaging a little bit when its on the front page of one of the richest people on the planet dont you think?

AND posts about it on mainstream social media

And when the fascists are in power they will have every member on those social medias sites details, well done!

Why are we giving traffic and org details to the enemy again, do you understand who owns these websites?
