Agitprop has always been short-form, from leaflets to propaganda posters. We should not use it for making a serious case for socialism within the boundaries of short-form content, but to push the working class into better media, reading theory, joining an org, etc.
If we reject engaging with reactionary platforms, even if that’s where the people are at, then we are committing the same errors Lenin pointed out in “Left-Wing” Communism. We should be engaging in reactionary media and bringing people here and other spaces we control and cannot be silenced as easily. Both are critical aspects of raising consciousness.
