The left has a PR problem. No one wants us to be right, and having political views to the left of Hitler is a good way to be alienated by mainstream society. I'm not saying "sigh, we gotta get more racist." or saying "Look, I AM racist, but..." but what I am referring to is stealing right wing arguments and talking points, then using it in our favor. We already (kinda) defused based, and it was a little funny seeing some nazis claim that's cultural appropriation (never mind that Lil' B, a black guy, came up with the term first).

It sounds semi-promising to use demagoguery ourselves, but if this is a no go: I'd rather just learn that right now.

    Name the enemies, always be on the offense instead of defense, actually go and interact in places to gradually seed them with communist ideology like the right is constantly doing with nazi shit.

    There's tactics that can be stolen without actually changing language.

      I mean, you don't even need to reference right-wingers to steal these strategies. They're laid out by Mao, Lenin, Freire, etc. "Actually go and interact in places" is what leftists mean when we say "practice".
