Most actual communists I know came to it on their own in their own time by personally seeking out more information to educate themselves about the world, not by getting into verbal dick measuring contests with randos on the internet. You've not ever gonna have much success "converting" people if they're not in the right place to be converted. I honestly think propaganda is only really effective when the people hearing already kinda agree with it, it just makes them agree even more. You can talk a baby leftist into being a grown up leftist but if someone is a diehard CHUD or Lib that ain't gonna change until something in their life makes it change.
