It’s on the rise recently especially in gamers, Americans, and even here in the Philippines.

    It just turns to fascism without class consciousness.

    So as for what we can do practically, make memes to make people class conscious. There’s not enough communists in the West currently to do any effective action imo so we have to boost up those numbers first.

    The soviets took agitprop very seriously for a reason and memes / tiktoks are the 21st century manifestations of it.

      I don’t know enough about the situation in Philippines to say if it’s different from the West. But if it isn’t different enough, the most time-effective way to do it is to translate Western/Chinese memes into Tagalog or other languages in Philippines. You’ll have to be selective about which ones are relevant to local material conditions and will resonate with the audience there.
