MODERATORS
Firstly, by not intimidating them with a book list
If someone can't bother to read a single Parenti book, or even just listen to their comrades, I believe the main issue is a lack of motivation and commitment, not accessibility. No one expects you to read das Kapital before getting involved.
Some people aren't readers for reasons other than lack of commitment. This isn't welcoming.

Wrong
Maybe if we give them short form content, that'll motivate them to do something instead of loafing around
