In this post that I found while browsing via Popular, people are openly talking about Marx and capitalism. In another post I saw, people were praising Lula. These are both posts I found via Popular, ie these are the ones the algo is promoting and are getting a lot of traction. That’s a good sign!

I’m sure there are plenty bad parts to Reddit, and the site as a whole might be astroturfed to hell, but there are so many people there that are open to socialism, maybe more than any other popular social media platform.

Maybe you can’t praise China or talk about Russia, but I feel everything else is game. And honestly? I think that’s fine. If we can get the average Redditor to turn to socialism and to bring down western imperialism, then that is already gonna be the biggest possible help the global south can ask for.

    They are socialistic until the slightest thing goes wrong. They absolutely adored Bernie until Biden won then it was all "what is the problem we this Bernie loon"

      yeah just wait until a strike or environmental protest or something makes them 15 minutes late for work or delays their funko pop shipment from amazon and see how socialist they are then

      they talk a big game sometimes but r*ddit is "socialist" to the extent that they dont have to do anything except :vote: and as long as they arent personally inconvenienced in the slightest
