    How hard have you actually looked? I get why you wouldn't want to wade through all of the garbage, but again, there are 10,000,000 users. The Chapo sub was significantly smaller and explicitly leftist, and racist shit still got posted fairly regularly. Don't forget that /r/stupidpol was birthed from this very community.

    Anyway, I'm not arguing that the potential is still there - I'm arguing that we squandered this opportunity, and if we continue to miss these moments then what are we even trying to accomplish? We need to keep an eye out for the next time something like this is bubbling up and be ready to offer a Marxist perspective from the start.
