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.
Eh. Don't mean to be too :doomer: but aside from some people in union organizing, "Socialism" in the west is still just an intellectual / aesthetic movement. Weekend hobby do-goodery if we're feeling generous. A few reddit posts don't really change that; nothing will until some combo of e-dollarization and hyper-federalism derails the imperial treat train.
