Disclaimer: I adore my anarchist comrades and I don’t write for a newspaper, I have in fact never even read one.
They do be writing newspapers. I really don’t get it, they should be influencers (Instagram pages are the modern pamphlet)
One of the things with trots is that they’re a bit too committed to book worship, and don’t translate the fact that influencing via media in the 19th century is not the same thing as influencing via media in the 21st century. You’re absolutely right that the modern newspaper is no longer an actual newspaper.
They kind of strike me as tech-priests from 40k lol. Dogmatic adherents to doctrine no longer useful or relevant, though at times still helpful and insightful
