hands out a communist reading list

fedposting "Have you ever read any of these? No? Keep it that way."

Maybe this is how we get people to read theory

I mean, this would absolutely work on nonconformists who break rules for the sake of breaking rules, and kids/teenagers. Want a kid, or someone with a childish mindset, to study something, the best way is to convince them they're not supposed to and they're getting away with something. Use that on people with demand avoidance tendencies or who break rules to break rules, and use "the government doesn't want you to read this" to reach a broader group. But yeah, if you want to get teenagers reading ML theory, this would probably work better than anything a lot of young commies are doing to radicalise peers...

It's the same marketing genius saying "your electric comoany doesn't want you plugging this 39-cent-BOM magic-beans box in" or "buy generic boner pills online with this lEgAl LoOpHoLe"...

except they're making bank.So I guess it would work.

To use this exact tactic, we'd have to hand out theory as "the government doesn't want you to read this", but that would absolutely work. Especially in places where current public trust in government is at an all time low.

Impersonating feds to hand out theory (in gmod rp servers ofc) would be insanely based
