      marketing is important

      this just treats socialist organizing like a consumer product that needs rebranding

      pursuing “proper messaging” for something like this tends to just mean water down the substance until nothing’s left

          That’s just basics, you’re trying to twist it.

          It isn’t about a stupid picture that people relate to a failed country that didn’t have free speech.

          if i’m trying to twist things you’re fully succeeding. ‘free speech’ in american context means unlimited speech for those with money.

          the USSR was actually quite successful, it did fall to capitalist encirclement eventually, but i don’t think we’re going to agree on metics if ‘free speech’ is your highest priority.

      All those words and all that you said is that your view of communism is what the capitalists have told you. The ones that have the most to lose under communism. We’re not here to rebrand things like liberals do like, bombs with rainbows on them, to make it more appealing to the masses.
