    Defund the police IS a crazy slogan, and I say this as someone who wants to defund the police. Public perception actually does matter and if your slogan is something the vast majority of people won’t understand and will likely find outright scary you’re going to struggle very very hard to accomplish the task the slogan is attached too. Marketing matters and “defund the police” is such a bad slogan it feels like sabotage honestly

      What slogan would you like instead? I think “Defund the police” is probably the most succinct and truthful slogan you could come up with. No matter what political goal you have, summing it up in 3 or so words is never going to give the full picture.

      Yes, I agree that communicating clearly is important. But there’s only so much you can do realistically.

    Of course American organizers have to use the book definitions of those terms. You know, instead of examining the material reality of the people they want to organize and tayloring to their current understanding in order to raise their class consciousness. As we know, class consciousness is raised by throwing Das Kapital at people. 😆

      u gringomf are so brainwashed by corpos that treat politics as a company. no, bro, you dont have to do some pr stunt where you talk about communism withput saying what communism is. when you see a true hero of the masses you see in his speach the impecable lingo of antiimperialism, not some moderate half bought “leftist” zionist.

        That hasn’t worked for me. What worked was information tailored to where I was at the time. I did the same with my family and friends based on where they were. That’s worked for us. Get off your idealist high horse.

          these are not your family and friends, they are politicians. why do you put them to the same level? i am the idealist? your plan is for them to talk softly so no one gets bothered. good people make the best nazis.

            Yes, believing that you’re just gonna go out there and speak communism at the most propagandized anti-communist popilation in the world and that they’d change their mind on communism being the antichrist is literally ignoring the material reality of their predisposition. If you believe that, you believe people are swayed primarily by ideas, so you’re an idealist.
