        Hey, that's cool. I've also read Fanon and I don't think it contradicts my point of revolution within the imperial core. But even then idk what plastering a fucking hammer and sickle and tagging shit will accomplish aside from some punk aesthetic statement, but hey, if you wanna be on the level of punk anarchists, 'we' can vibe.

            I'm not mad at graffiti, I just don't think graffiti is a particularly good use of time, money, or energy for any organization. Particularly slogans such as 'Elections no, Revolution Yes!' won't speak to anyone outside the choir. I'm on board bud, but I was already on board.

              It dont do any harm though, I'd argue its at least several times more useful than voting for biden.

                That's a fair point, but it's besides what my point is. If the goal is simply 'Use a red can of spray paint and vent my frustration' then this would be successful. But if the goal is furthering the cause of revolution or convincing people to join your side, I'm gonna have to put some big question marks on the effectiveness of this tactic.

                  it’s very effective.

                  People take pictures of it and then post it on the internet.

                  Chuds are spraypainting revolutionary slogans on their own garages - fighting an imaginary war with make-believe Maoists, and losing it

                  Yes, rebellion works, and spraypainting more Maoist slogans on things is cool and good

                    Ok, but unless you are actually gaining members for your organization due to this tactic, then this is all (ironically) pure advertising ideology. People can share things online for a variety of reasons, but it doesn't mean they agree with you.

                    And if you are doing things simply to spite chuds, that is good and cool I guess, but using chuds as a general barometer for if a tactic is effective against the actual state is useless, otherwise you are just fighting culture wars.

                    'Rebellion works', you keep using these words broadly. Do you think tagging is an act of rebellion?
