OK, here's my "input".

1. Mass propaganda. By this I mean showing the public - not just hardcore lefties on Internet Forums - the evils of capitalism. Pictures, Soundbites, Articles... Via any medium, but the internet is free and can probably reach the largest number of people!

2. Organise protests at anything - the War in Iraq, whatever takes your fancy! And take to the streets! MAKE SURE YOU'RE HEARD!!! And you'll probably be joined by quite a few people who feel the same way but fear ostracisation...

3. Spread the word! "Convert" all your family and friends; get them to do the same! Everyone who lives in a closely contested "ward" (involving a third party) should vote for this Third Party! (As long as it is broadly Socialist, of course...) And at the next general election, organise everyone you know to go along and vote for the same (preferably Green or Workers) Third Party!

4. If you must, scrawl graffiti everywhere! School desks, walls, EVERYWHERE!!! Put up posters, give out leaflets... All of them either promoting Socialism (i.e. mention Che, "vote socialist" etc. etc.) or decrying capitalism! (Crimes of corporations, or conditions in factories...)

REVOLUTION!!! (now I must sleep...)

I found this webpage very helpful: How to Win: A Practical Guide for Defeating the Radical Right in Your Community (http://www.bobgreen.com/tenthings.htm) Here are some highlights...


5. Get the facts out.

The biggest advantage you have is that you’re right on the issues! Put that to work by getting information out to the rest of the community. All too frequently, Radical Right groups and leaders have a way of stretching the facts, or in some cases, making them up altogether. Don’t let those half- and mis-truths go unanswered. Get the facts out and do it quickly.

Of course, you don’t want your campaign to be nothing more than a reactive effort to what your opponents are doing. Get your positive message out throughout the battle.

10. Build your support even before the Radical Right comes to town.

Nothing is more vulnerable to sudden attack by the Radical Right than a program or policy nobody else knows about. So build support for the programs and initiatives along the way. Don’t wait for the attack to come. If your schools are doing well with a new curriculum, get out the word. If your local arts group is winning awards, get out the word. And so on. Put out your positive message and save yourself trouble later on.

me, i beat the crap out of people unless they join my cause :P , seriously i wouldnt know how to SERIOUSLY gain support for an ideal, i just prove all others wrong.

[MysticArcher]

wahoo!

I already am working on some of those things:
every week I have a quote outside my dorm room, I'm trying to subtly influence people, eventually I;m going to cover the entire wall outside my room with quotes from leftists and picture if I can find some

I've already started, or tried to start anyway, one protest and am planning another soon

I'd be covering stuff with graffitit, but I don't know what to write

[The Children of the Revolution]

How about the classic Che line "Hasta La Victoria Siempre!" It doesn't matter if people don't understand it, they will become curious - maybe enter it in a search engine; they could end up here!! Or how about some of Marx's lines, from the Communist Manifesto?

[ComradeRobertRiley]

each according to his/her own ability

spellings wrong sorry and may not be the exact words but you know what i mean

[che's long lost daughter]

I would wear my Che shirt everyday, play my RATM records at the fullest volume and preach in buses the contents of the Communist Manifesto like those silly bible guys do...

That would be very funny

[che's long lost daughter]

But I wouldn't force the commuters to pay me after I preach to them. They will get salvation by just listening to me

u should tell the mob things they want to hear. i don't mean u should lie or sth - u should tell them in the way they want to hear; that is really very important. they must unserstand the reasons of that and believe it is for their sake.
graffitis and (eapecially) mentioning che or maybe it would be even better if there could be his picture along with few of his or someone else's lines... :che: that could really move people.
then, internet is also a great media.

anyway i think it is most important to prove why they should follow u and to have good ideas (don't have to say better then the others do)
