Though the internet has changed the speed and intensity, maybe, of these formations, it’s so helpful to learn general principles that come from 150+ years of struggle and debate. Obviously arguing in comment sections is mainly just doing content creation for social media companies, but the actual need for struggle on these questions is undeniable and linked across history. The problem I think is these struggles need to take place within organizations, communities, and relationship with actual organizing on the line, not with anonymous strangers on the internet.
