No, seriously! If we want communist spaces on lemmygrad to grow, shouldn’t the communities engage in regular discussions threads on marxist theory and contemporary politics that will invite/attract users to the communities and help them clear their doubts and misunderstandings about different schools of Marxism? Even a weekly/ bi-weekly bookclub will be good.

    I think we should have reading and studying threads in all political communities. And if that sounds too theoretical or boring for meme/shitposting communities like ‘TheDeprogram’, then we should make new communities for readers. Communities that will not only be reserved for Marxist-leninist theory but also books on world History, socialist history, labor movement, anti-imperialism, anti-capitalism, anti-colonialism, indigenous history, biographies, culture, and sometimes even anti-capitalist/ pro-labor fiction.

      The more education the better. We just have to make sure that people actually actively engage with it and don’t just read the title, leave a like and scroll by.
