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.

    We need Praxis. Theory, education, and propaganda only does so much. This country is filled with politicians saying sweet words. A Socialist saying the sweetest of words is more of the same. Material Reality and Action must back the words we speak. Everything will eventually return to reality. Hopefully, that recalibration won't be the language matching the brutality of our reality, but out loving actions being the basis of the talking points.
