Sorry for the late reply - the health isn't what it used to be.

If you think that’s a good comeback, it’s very very sad.

I wasn't trying to be clever... I was trying to be charitable - a courtesy I only extend to the libertarian left. Your hearts seem to be in the right place... where the rest of your parts are is open to conjecture.

Its resilience is not what we’re talking about.

That is exactly what we are talking about - considering that you are forlornly hoping that a few bottom-of-the-pecking-order capitalism-cosplaying techbros getting their hands badly burnt by a prophesised AI bubble imploding will (somehow) lead to another crisis for the liberal socio-economic order. A liberal socio-economic order that, to be clear, has consistently proven far, far more resilient than leftist predictions have claimed throughout the last two hundred years.

That during these collapses is when radical leftists have more chance to push through the propaganda which is powerful while the system is stable?

When an actual collapse strikes it is too late to rethink your narratives. That is something you had the chance to do before the artillery shells started coming down and the death squads burst through your door.

You know... like now?

As always, we’re outnumbered and outgunned,

Outgunned? Sure.

But outnumbered? For an ideology that purports to be of the working class and for the working class that is a serious and debilitating flaw, methinks.

If you are outnumbered, the obvious question that comes to my mind would be... why does the working class have so little faith in you?

Are you absolutely certain the reasons are all external to the libertarian left?

If I had to judge based on the often contradictory and often dead-end narratives I see anarchists use to engage with the working class online I have to say the answer cannot possibly be in the affirmative.

I’d love to hear what tactics you actually suggest,

Absolutely not - you don't fix a headless chicken problem by adding more headless chickens.

If narratives can be equated to tactics when it comes to the counter-propaganda battle, then perhaps it is the strategy these tactics are based upon that requires rethinking - not the tactics themselves.

If it helps, we can examine the common arguments anarchists often find themselves trapped in when liberals predictably start going "blue-no-matter-who"-crazy as the US electioneering cycle starts spinning up - if you wish to continue this, that is.
