No, seriously! If we want communist spaces on lemmygrad to grow, shouldn’t the communities engage in regular discussions threads on marxist theory and contemporary politics that will invite/attract users to the communities and help them clear their doubts and misunderstandings about different schools of Marxism? Even a weekly/ bi-weekly bookclub will be good.
Our active members have been relatively the same for many years and we’ve already done that so it doesn’t get much engagement. We mostly discuss current geopolitical events.
Everyone is welcome to discuss whatever they’re reading and ask for our thoughts but organizing a weekly reading group has not been very effective, every person is reading their own stuff so its hard to ask for people to drop whatever they’re interested right now to read something they mightve already read years ago.
We can do a weekly/monthly book recommendation and review thread where members will comment what they had been reading or had read and articulate their thoughts about the said literature. We can do it with other forms of media as well.
