and then it is easier to argue from that vantage point

Most people wouldn't think so if you explained your position like a rational human being and if you advocate for policies like single payer or free tuition.

I would argue now more than ever is the right time to promote communism.

People already are extremely distrustful of the mainstream media

You know, that is true. But it should be done peacefully

so if they already distrust the media, then it's easy to convince them that they've been lied to (they have been) by the bourgeois government.

so that communists look better than the far right right now

The capitalists are not peaceful

who is also taking the opportunity to spread rhetoric

they use the state apparatus to crush dissent.

If ANTIFA went out to feed homeless, how many more supporters would they gain?

They coerce people to sell their labor power to them.

Night chat is best chat.

Probably a lot.

Then they should focus on that

The thing about Antifa is that Antifa =/= all communists

good PR

they're mostly anarchists

which, as you know, like to smash things.

which looks bad for the left

but yes, I agree that talking about communism should increase

A Leninist party could present itself as better organized (we are) and smarter in how we agitate (we are).

because it is in a blank state even on the internet

the far right has has a choke hold on the internet right now

in many, many areas

and the rate their influence is expanding is concerning

yet I see little to no counterattack from communists

eh

I mean, they have also suffered loses

namely steve bannon getting fucked my kushner

or their posterboy Richard Spencer being turned into a living meme.

pretty hilarious tbh

And we have the Jimmy Dore show, Agressive Progressive, TYT, RT America, Sane Progressive, etc. who are bringing people to the left more

but we need more than that, I agree

We need communists

open in their views

unashamed in their views

loud, in the open, agitating for workers in the class struggle

to quote marx

I think America would be one of the harder areas for communism to grow

Where is the party in opposition that has not been decried as communistic by its opponents in
power? Where is the opposition that has not hurled back the branding reproach of communism,
against the more advanced opposition parties, as well as against its reactionary adversaries?
Two things result from this fact:
I. Communism is already acknowledged by all European powers to be itself a
power.
II. It is high time that Communists should openly, in the face of the whole world,
publish their views, their aims, their tendencies, and meet this nursery tale of the
Spectre of Communism with a manifesto of the party itself.
