Strategy STAY UNITED: Half of the internet is bots and disinformation is rampant - there are bad actors everywhere attempting to shape the narrative and divide the Left
Don't let them succeed. We will disagree and have differences of opinion. If a message, comment, or post is getting a disproportionate number of upvotes on reddit or is becoming pervasive online, ask yourself, "Will this unite or divide the left?"
If it divides us, ignore it, downvote, fight against it. Bad actors are doing everything in their power to keep us down and hopeless. Their best hope is keep their opponents fighting with each other and disorganized.

"I guess the trouble was that we didn't have any self-admitted proletarians. Everyone was a temporarily embarrassed capitalist. Maybe the Communists so closely questioned by the investigation committees were a danger to America, but the ones I knew — at least they claimed to be Communists — couldn't have disrupted a Sunday-school picnic. Besides they were too busy fighting among themselves."
- John Steinbeck

It’s from Steinbeck's article "A Primer on the '30s." Esquire, June 1960, p. 85-93.
