Whenever I see these sorts of posts I think about how different they are from revolutionaries who have accomished major successes. The latter group almost universally says you have to keep explaining, keep educating, keep persuading.

I don't think it can be said enough that bringing revolutionary change will require doing a hundred things we would rather not do. It is labor, and it is unpaid, because that's what a social movement requires to differentiate it from posting. I'd rather not go to meetings, or organize my workplace, or go to a protest, or go on strike -- but if it's necessary to get to socialism, I'll do it. I'd rather not put in the effort of patiently bringing people along to my views, but if that works better than telling them to fuck off, I'll do it.

  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
