    I don't necessarily agree with that, I think it depends on what your goals are. One example of what I think is a protest where livestreams/general publicity can be good are the recent abortion protests organized by the PSL. With so many :LIB:s out in force there's not much chance of this becoming something like the BLM protests IMO, but if a vanguard party is seen leading the protests that's still more eyes and more potential members.

    That being said, any sort of livestreaming would need to be subject to party discipline and there's a time and a place for peaceful protests to gain publicity vs actual direct action protests depending on the general mood of the public.

      I think there's a contradiction.

      The vanguard party, and orgs in general, are benefitted greatly by publicity which is today achieved by social media. On the other hand the individual protester is endangered by having the tools to access social media on their person at a protest.

      This problem will need a solution.
