Make sure you're sensitive to Cultural Appropriation, your technological solutions must be applied only to those groups who match the exact ethnic proportion of the creator of said solution

  • Willful blindness - Develop a determination to address every social problem in the world no matter how inconsequential and to have a glorious revolution. Ignore the fact that dividing the burnt husk of the Earth in a fair way is no use to anyone, to avoid admitting there may be more pressing issues.

  • Being Reasonable - Basically, if you decide to say that, oh, abortion should be a legal privilege extending from the right to privacy, and someone else says, "Abortion is murder" in response, you should immediately agree with them and join Operation Rescue. This will garner over one billion votes in the USA alone.

Okay, so I've been noticing a lot of people saying that the left is broken, or that nobody takes it seriously, and these people talk a lot about how social media is the end of civilization so you know they're on the loving ball! So let's figure out some ways to boost the sagging, crumbling image that the Left is faced with because someone said something on Twitter.

  • Bake Sale - Always a good start, and, hell, if we do it in Colorado, muchos points with young people! ;)

  • Cut A Deal With The Girl Scouts - Actually, although the Girl Scouts of the USA sell delicious cookies and speak to the idea of collective action and are popular everywhere except on townhall.com, they've admitted trans women as members and we don't need that distracting from Real LeftismTM.

  • Adjust Platforms - For example, the Democrats could replace their commitments to civil rights, Roe v. Wade, and equal pay with banning public universities from having "women's studies", "African-American literature" or "sociology" courses, an educational policy that tries to minimize the number of kids that go to college, and a law that would make it clear once and for all that it's okay to call people fags and you're not a homophobe if you do so. All of these things are missing from the modern Left, which is why there's no socialist party winning elections in the USA.

  • Combat Liberalism - It's about time leftists faced up to the fact that authentic leftism requires purging liberal poison and accepting that human beings are perfectly rational creatures that solely act to maximize their economic benefit. Doing this and talking at length about it will win elections for sure.

  • Death Squads - The Left hosed up with the Charlie Hebdo attacks. Rather than come out firmly in favor of a pre-emptive nuclear strike against Indonesia, Bangladesh, and the Middle East, they- we- put together a bunch of articles that said a lot of things, none of them about slaughtering all Muslims. We cannot undo that, but we can begin to make up for it by committing a series of violent terrorist acts against Muslims in our own countries, reassuring everyone that we are fully committed to the best principles of Western civilization and defending it from the slavering horde culture that is assailing it.

  • An Assault on Racism - One front that has been neglected in anti-racist efforts is the home front, where people are making a wide variety of downright liberal suggestions, like "the American police force disproportionately targets racial minorities for arrests and police violence", etc., which are incompatible with the reality that class is all that matters, and even worse are pretending to be minorities while doing so. We need to make it clear to the people that say such things that doing so makes them white. Also maybe we could extend this further, to feminism anti-sexism and gay rights anti-homophobia efforts.

  • Ban Cartoons - This one should speak for itself, and frankly it should have gone at the top of the list because of how important it is.

Anyone else have any ideas to save leftism in America and by extension the world?

I don't see any guillotines mentioned so I am forming my own party because you obviously are not a true leftist.

Without making Cultural Appropriation the absolute gravitational center of the New Left, I don't see how you can call it the left at all.

One practical suggestion would be a new government mandate that all forms that collect demographic information (think, Drivers License application, bank forms, whatever) have ALL pronouns and ALL possible self-identification labels. If I can't self identify on my drivers license as a transexual vegan demiqueer otherkin, usign the pronouns Xim/Xom/Bazonga, then I will literally shake until my needs are addressed

Remember guys, we can't deal with class inequality before tackling such issues like the color of smoke the evil tank engines spew in a cartoon for children, or white people tattooing Kanji letters on their bodies. It's extremely important and if you disagree with me, it's because you secretly want the left to fail.

I respectfully disagree. A good leftist never shuns before confronting a racial issue, even when they apply to unjust stigma of carbonized particles compared to pure water vapor. It's extremely important and if you disagree with me, it's like Hitler had already won.
