I'm seeing a massive leftward shift in /r/politics now that election is over and the Biden consent manufacturing astroturfers have left.

Every third comment is a solid progressive take, lots of class conciousness.

Now since this is an independent community, and we cant be banned for brigading, what do you guys think about manufacturing our own consent.

Below is an example of an informational post that can bring communist ideas to potentially thousands of people if it is made one of the top-voted comments in a post with 10k+ upvotes.

Austerity, privatisation, financial deregulation and loss of labor union power is what is causing America's problems. Please read these texts, they offer an alternative view of society and solutions.

  1. Communist Manifesto (30 pages) - https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1848/communist-manifesto/ch01.htm

I know you think "communism is scary" and "communism doesnt work" etc, but just read the Manifesto, just give it a try. At the very least, it gives an idea about what communists want, why they believe what they believe.

  1. Albert Einstein "Why Socialism?" - https://monthlyreview.org/2009/05/01/why-socialism/

  2. ABCs of socialism - https://s3.jacobinmag.com/issues/jacobin-abcs.pdf

  3. Excellent video that debunks most of what people "know" about socialist states and socialism. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xP8CzlFhc14&list=PLvNQvOq4XvUQ_oo_NISIXrB351pYUwyPp&index=1

If you guys think this is a good idea, ill pitch it to the mod, we can make a sticky that contains all the comments to be brigaded.

    Same with me, some chapo was shitting up some liberal sub I was in, even though they were eating downvotes they were so adamant and staunch in their opinions. I checked out the sub and completed the transition from socdem to commie. My entire political view ended up shifting because some chapo couldn’t help himself and argued with a liberal on some random subreddit.
