I’ve been running the Capital reading threads over on Hexbear.net this year. In my experience, you need a good schedule, a work that is engaging and not too long, and you need to participate as well to keep the conversation going each week. Keep a list of people to notify when the new thread drops as well.

Radicalizing people is a different thing entirely. People are generally radicalized by their conditions, you don’t just push a “radicalize” button. You need to identify the radicalized people and help guide them to Marxism-Leninism, not wasting time on the fash or other reactionaries. Personally, I do my agitprop online on Lemmy.ml, which is more broadly federated. I stick to Lemmy.ml so I don’t get dogpiled on or censored, and try to use my own words as much as I can so I don’t merely quote-bomb, which seems more like evangelizing than an actual conversation. I also share my introductory Marxist-Leninist reading list if I think it will be useful.

Back to theory, I’d say focus on a subject. Philosophy, economics, imperialism, AES history, and party work are all excellent topic, as an example, as well as queer theory, etc. Start small and easy, then expand as it becomes more in-depth, if the threads die then start a new topic or try to go to a simpler piece.

Best of luck!
