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
I agree with the spirit of your comment, but let me nitpick
We can simply create organization, discipline (as in enforcement of behavior) is entirely possible with the correct online organizational structure, there are plenty of mechanisms to enforce things in an online organization, and participation would come with time
These same criticisms could have been made about the idea of making the first socialist party before the first socialist party was made. These are things that we have to build ourselves no matter what.
