We will never be able to recruit new people like Zig Forums does unless we start self-reflecting.

I almost wrote off this thread for being a Zig Forums shill thread, but whatever. Memes are a form of humor, and whether or not that humor depends entirely on political references determines what kind of humor it is. The "problem" is that many of us don't care about humor. Still, what most people think is a "leftist meme" is an infograph simply explaining a situation or idea portrayed within an image. Most "leftist memes" aren't even memes at all. Zig Forumsniggers are too dumb to understand this.
Image #2 is a meme. Image #3 is an informational picture.
You're giving right-wing memes too much credit. Zig Forums memes are decent, of which some have even permeated into the mainstream (porky, "this was made by XY gang"), the problem with "shock value" is that fascism appeals mainly to emotions. Posting something that makes you deeply uncomfortable or shudder will appeal to your lizard brain, and make you more likely to subscribe to emotional solutions, like that clown meme you posted. It doesn't really work like that with far-left memes, at least I don't know how it could. The meme you exemplified reinforces a troglodyte view of the world: WOMYN BAD, MAN SAD CUZ SOCIETY A FUCK, LMAO TRANNIES ARE GROSS. How can you even come up with a communist equivalent like that?
Another aspect of right-wing memes is that they are merely designed to make libs mad. They're not funny or convey messages in a succinct form, they are just supposed be confronting liberals so they throw a hissy-fit.
Check pic related, it's mildly funny, it's relatable and a popular meme format. I'd say it's a good meme, but it doesn't have any shock value (unless you are so thin-skinned that the questioning Ukrainian nationalist view of the Holodomor triggers you so much) because it isn't necessary.
Marxism is progress, optimism and the belief that a better world is possible while casting reactionaries in the dustbin of history. We don't need gore or personalised horror to make our point.
Literally reads like some liberal
He made sure to insert his agenda as well.
I agreed up until the point where you tried to say we can't turn pol memes on them.
You'll notice that the pol NPC memes stopped pretty quickly after people said "hey wait a minute.."
It's good to make Liberals mad though. We aren't Liberals unlike Zig Forums. We're supposed to be the next level. Liberals believe in stuff like Facebook should ban mean things, which is only a step above reactionaries that believe that everything should be banned. The only way their ideology works is via censorship.
Everything should be made fun of, everything should be criticized, everything should be dissected. At the end the most logical thing will remain which is Communism.

If you go to Zig Forums right now you will find a Brendon Tarrant memetic warfare general #X with such great "recruitment" images like this. Honestly, this image makes me kind of sad since I know if the creator just read a single one of Lenin's writings they would be over here posting with us instead of tormenting themselves in that psychotic torture chamber.
So, 99% of people?
