I consider praxis a conscious direct action towards an objective, mediated by theory and practice in constant reformulation.
What is the main objective in arguing with liberals? Are you using any method to do it? If not, do you develop it?
Most of the times, you may not convince them, but you are letting lurkers formulate different opinions. In terms of ideological struggle, yes, can be a form of praxis, albeit in a primtive, isolated form. A superior form of online praxis could be organized “arguing”, or ideological struggle in several different places of the internet.
Imagine using our personal or fake accounts in several different online spaces and bourgeois social media to collective respond and criticize ideologues, interact with each other comments, like them and exploit the algorithm to make our comments rank higher and higher. (Nothing prevents anyone from creating a community in Lemmygrad for that end, by the way 😎)
This is why organized action is always the superior form of praxis. But even this ideological struggle is not in itself revolutionary praxis. Revolutionary praxis can only be done through organization, both online and personally, with a political line established through incessant internal criticism. It will require organic woking class leaderships, Marxist theorists, military strategists, weapons and well defined tactics and strategy
In my opinion, not in itself…

Well said. I think I’m of a similar mind about it, but I feel like you worded it better than I did.
