So I just read an article on here wailing on Class War pretty hard because they marketed themselves a certain way (or something, I don't really understand what makes them different from any other group with a logo and a paper in this regard), in order to 'sell' their politics to the working class. I am just wondering what is necessarily wrong with this? Historically hasn't this the point of propaganda whatever side of the fence you're on? So we can't do this now? I'm not that familiar with Class War but I don't see how the tabloid stuff or whatever is bad, some of it's a bit cringeworthy but it's obviously aimed directly at young people and seems pretty effective. Anyway, have at it.
I am not talking about their politics, or am I?
I would ask the author but the article just says by 'libcom'
http://libcom.org/library/paper-tiger-class-war-aufheben-6 <-- This is the article
iirc, the author is a poster on the forums here, so hopefully he'll see this. i think the argument is that their tabloid form is inherently linked to their populist, beano class analysis content:
