You could think of it like this:

There's

• politically aware, unaware, active inactive members of society,
• then there's those who try to lead people, those who follow instructions and those who observe, those who try to learn, those who imitate etc.
• the ones who communicate things in-between.

Then there's problems of our societies, the contradictions, class struggles.

What are the problems? Who is attending the rallies? who is leading them? who isn't attending them? why do they attend them? why don't they? Who is delivering the messages, what means are they using? If it's the internet who is browsing the internet?

What would be the interests of a crowd that's gathered on a workday during work hours? what's their age? Is there a better way we could communicate? Are there people who we could draw to join? Are the organizers deliberately avoiding certain demographics of people? why? How could we get those inactive observers to join us? Is there a way we could survey people and direct those letters towards organizers? Perhaps people are too scared to speak their mind so what can we do there to get the point across? I could go on, but this is the sort of questions we have to ask.

It's tough. There will be clashing interests, all sots of stuff.

ideally if you're organizing for socialism you'd want a crowd that turns their head around and yells at you about their real problems that aren't being addressed and you'd know what to do, but this is seemingly not happening, there's a problem, are these people really socialists or are they here out of sympathy for the victims and their heart hurt? could they be turned into socialists? what stops them from it? Who are you and what do you want? Those are the questions all of us should be asking.
