tbf that only really sucks if you're pretty well read or exposed to the ideas and discussions. For a lot of people, especially newer members, they have a lot of groundwork to lay out. Even then, for those who do know, its also about learning and practicing discussion, not rehearsing, but practicing organic discussion with sharp analysis. Because you can't just go to a protest and walk up to working class people and hit them with boring shit or long speeches, you gotta give them what you want them to hear in the way they need to hear it, and to do that takes practice and confidence
It's also why getting into big fights with other leftists online isn't really helpful, because you don't need practice for arguing with socialists, you need practice for talking to and working with working class people
I know, I know, it was just the repetition. the original plan had been to do 3 separate events on each topic but somehow we kept skipping everything but the panels and I was getting annoyed. I'm mostly just teasing.
