Hello comrades, I read a comment on a post either on lemmygrad or hexbear talking about how most discourse happening was of poor quality and indicative of a lack of genuine leftist groups in the imperial core. Basically if there were patty’s with some teeth they would enforce party discipline and education and that would lead to higher quality discourse online.
I also read some of Lenins2ndcat’s comments which were very patient when they were interacting with users from other communities.
Is there anyway to work on like, an online party discipline? Or like having users who are very good at discussing with libs have a more concerted approach to their interactions? It really seems that much of us are often too aggressive and meme-y and as fun as that is it really isn’t productive.
I get that this isn’t how praxis or anything happens, it seems more like the way we engage could be more productive and fruitful in the long term and considerations like this might go a long way.
TL;DR Planned economy but for memeposting
Thanks for your response, I don’t disagree with your comments and agree with them. I suppose I don’t see how a dialectical approach cannot be entertained where there is determined through experiment a preferable or even formalized approach(es) are one of the mechanisms the energy already spent online is taken. I was not thinking of Twitter as a platform. Only the degree of aimlessness seems to be something which can be moderated through intentional engagement which would do much for the morale of comrades.
The other thing I want to ask, do you consider the internet to be material? You mention the real world as distinct, if so what is the distinguishing difference, as it seems to be the chief mechanism of propaganda of the modern era and paramount to changing minds by capitalists.
