What can we do to change this? I don't think chapo.chat will ever be huge, but it would be nice for it to be consistently active.

    so I mean obviously the core issue here is that you have some fear people will phone the cops on you for Communism. Fair.

    we’re not posting ISIS recruitment videos here and you should be more confident in your fight against liberalism

    Communists are not common

        your plan to sell Communism by hiding Lenin from the masses is silly.

          No I mean... you're just putting random thoughts in my head and not reading what I'm saying.

            how else would I be putting thoughts in your head if I didn’t read what you’re saying?

            You’re saying Lenin is too scary. For them of course, not you. Can we all tone down the Lenin to make everyone comfortable?

              Holy shit work on your reading comprehension.

              Accusing me of being uncomfortable with Lenin in the thread where I said he was cool. What the hell.

                Maoism is really big on combatting liberalism and psychoanalysis.

                When a person walks by and says Lenin is too scary for everyone, he’s telling the truth.

                I’m sure you’re comfortable with Lenin, you’re just not listening to him. You have to be open with your views, and militantly so.

                  The largest communist-leaning internet community that has ever existed was created by making a pipeline that was comfortable to socdems.

                  Any strategy that revolves around ignoring this fact and doing something else is anti-materialist.

                    If you start listening to Lenin maybe other people will listen to you about materialism

                    Socialists have much higher standards for invoking the “materialist argument” - insisting that you can solve a new problem without modifying the old solution isn’t a consistent position and isn’t socialist
