That's you specifically. I remember the thread and there were some really silly pro graffiti takes as well. Things can be not really revolutionary or counter revolutionary, if you're gonna go around painting walls then I think it's good to know your city and if doing so in certain places may upset poor people living there or whatever have you which isn't necessarily thought of most of the time. I don't think it's really worth having a strong opinion on either way.
I think it can be praxis to make communist art. Like Chumbawamba said in their first release 'Music itself is not a threat bit action inspired by music can be a threat". I'm enjoying the fences around all the awful building constructions going in are covered with leftist graffiti, less so when someone sprays an anarchy sign on a stairwell that leads to the lawn of local low income housing. Just think before you spray kids.
Well the band did plenty outside of music as well but I can say for sure that they sharpened the politics of a lot of punks who then did direct action. Pictures of Starving Children and Never Mind the Ballots sort of ironically led me to Marixst Lenninism.

Do it if you want, but it doesn't count as praxis.

Graffiti is praxis, hexing the moon is not
I don't know what that means.
