Hey OP, I do think that this kind of agitprop is counter-intuitive. Like we discussed earlier, when trying to persuade liberals to your side, it is useful to highlight uncontestable reality. Simply showing a bunch of different ideological groups disagreeing with the PRC being Socialist without doing the legwork to show how and why the PRC is indeed Socialist and just calling them reactionary for disagreeing fuels them, rather than refutes.

Just my 2 cents. Your meme is "correct," but requires a background in Marxism to appreciate, which is why it very easily backfires. Compared to how @yogthos@lemmy.ml posts, you can see the difference in effectiveness. I went and did all that legwork in replying to Prunebutt, so I don't think it was a wash or anything, but you can see just how easy it was for Prunebutt to flip your meme against Marxists.
