Breadtube if it didn't suck.
Post videos you genuinely enjoy and want to share, duh. Celebrate the diversity of interests shared by chapochatters by posting a deep dive into Venetian kelp farming, I dunno. Also media criticism, bite-sized versions of left-wing theory, all the stuff you expected. But I am curious about that kelp farming thing now that you mentioned it.
Low effort / spam videos might be removed, especially weeb content.
There is a cytube that you can paste videos into and watch with whoever happens to be around. It's open submission unless there's something important to commandeer it with at the time.
A weekly watch party happens every Saturday (Sunday down under), with video nominations Saturday-Monday, voting Monday-Thursday. See the pin for whatever stage it's currently in.

I'm always just open with the fact.
Any conversation I've had, people have walked away with a softer view of communism because they talked to an actual human who believes it.
If you don't outright say it, then their only engagement with communism is going to be strawmen and propaganda.
Remember, libs are like dogs who only understand tone. Stay cool and matter-of-fact. If you lose your cool, even if justified, then you're "one of the crazies." When I talk about trans issues with my family, I have to grit my teeth while they casually say the dumbest, most harmful, humiliating things. But it works . They'll outright say, "wow, you're not at all like those insane people I see on the news or in my slop videos."
In my opinion, it's not helpful to try to hide what you actually believe behind phrases like "democracy in the workplace." Democracy in the workplace is part of a broader political project that needs to be clearly explained. If it is not contextualized that way, then it just becomes another item on the internally contradictory American political ideology buffet.
Excellent way of framing it. Americans have no coherent political ideology, so the goal should be to introduce one to them.
Every country under the imperial core is like this, imo
