You don’t really need to have read anti-capitalist theory to understand the post, you just need to be literate — that being said, here’s a quote from Mark Twain:
Don’t use a five-dollar word when a fifty-cent word will do.
there are so many memes where its some “bad” person saying a thing and then some leftist responding with— three paragraphs of burogogies and-- all those words I keep misspelling.
Memes work! They deliver a punchy message in a tiny package. I’d aim them at people who don’t already have a strong political identity and people who are unsure or wavering.
I am once again asking leftists to use plain language in their memes instead of jargon.
“The world if we were in charge of our labor instead of the capitalists.” See how easy that was?
I don’t know the jargon version is funnier to me.
Sure. I guess some memes are for in-jokes among those who read long theory books (which includes me!) and others are for actually reaching people.

i just stop reading at that point.
Well, the right wing political ideology is more geared towards the illiterate.
