Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

Very good advice.
Yes, we spend to much time battling it out with liberals on controversial historical and current event topics and not nearly enough explaining Marxist economics and philosophy, even though the latter is arguably more important. Especially at a time where liberal dominance of media and education have largely snuffed out debates about communist theory and made sure that virtually any and all discussions of communism would revolve around the liberal interpretation of what communists allegedly did or didn't do in far away countries a long time ago.
Thanks! And you hit the nail on the head, the controversial and harder to tackle concepts come after the basics, which are easier to grasp and more capable of being taught. We often let past generations and their nuance dominate the present, when all it really takes to get liberals to begin to see our frame of view is starting with basic principles.
Even among ourselves, from our memes to our effort posts, we talk a lot more about history and current events than about theory. Recently I've been wishing we'd discuss more about theory, not only because we don't talk about it enough even tough we really don't, but also because I like talking about economics and philosophy more than about history.
I agree! Would be a fun way to try to sharpen our skills.
