"We applaud the democratic revolutions that have transformed the former Communist bloc"

I love the rising wave of neo-fascism in eastern europe - National DSA

    if it comes up i’m not going to assist in revisionism

    You can do this in person far easier than you can on an "about us" section of a website. In person you can have a real conversation. On a website you'll just get targeted with shit like that YouTube link of yours.

    “isn’t that word synonymous with gulags, holodomor, mass murder?!?!?!”

    Why even lead into this conversation if you can avoid it? It's not at all necessary to get people on board with what the DSA is pushing.

        Make people interested and simultaneously trying to unbrainwash 100 years of red scare by text on website? Also, I can make educated guesses what will happen with dsa and so should you, so while it works and people heard of it - comrades should make the most of it.

            So? Their faq documents are completely irrelevant then, only interpersonal agitation matters and connections. Rsdlp joined duma despite thinking it’s irrelevant institution to get a platform, not to endorse tzar

        I'm pointing out the difference between a mass media approach and a personal one. What you're suggesting works decently in the latter but poorly in the former.

        i can walk and chew gum at the same time

        This isn't walking and chewing gum, it's running a race with a weighted vest. It doesn't matter if you can do OK even if you take on an added challenge -- you'd do better without it.

            correcting people on the condition that they are receptive to it

            Determining who might be receptive to it is impossible in the FAQ section of a website. This is what I mean when I say that the approach you're suggesting does not work in this context.
