When you are making a metaphor for something reactionary, please consider how it affects us in the Ethical Necromancy community. I'm not even demanding you stop saying stuff like "resurrecting the shambling corpse of scientific racism" or anything, it's fine, really, but once in a while you could use a necromancy metaphor for something cool. Maybe "summoning the badass undead giant bat mount of international communism"? Or "Using the bones of myriad creatures to raise an undefeatable giant skeleton of left-wing radicalism"? Just some food for thought.

In my opinion, the problem with propaganda that just aims to shock people is that the average liberal has almost completely dehumanized Palestinians in their mind. This makes it easy for them to simply ignore whatever horrible result of their politics you show them. It might seem unintuitive when you do see Palestinians as people, but effective propaganda aimed at liberals should first of all aim to rehumanize them, to state that these are people with inner lives like you and me.

This one is probably my favorite common misunderstanding of Marxist dialectics, the radical centrist dialectics, never fails to make me smile

Yeah just running around in one without the smurf cosplay would probably stop work for a short while, but I bet there are things you could spray in there that would force them to rebuild the whole thing.
