Second, barrier to entry and lack of any focus on this exact thing. In other words, programming communities are either apolitical or right-leaning, or that we communists ourselves usually just glance over it in favor of a more direct approach (organizing, strikes, protests, clubs, unions).
Third, we are very unorganized and there is lack of necessary structure. I mean it's good for attracting new members into the Leftist cause but the lack of internationally united socialist/workers' movement (Internationale) prevents us commies to successfully coordinate our actions in a way that it really matters or just have enough people in various numerous haxxing groups. There isn't enough people.
Though, I must agree with ya, comrade. We really lack the absolutely crucial media presence: Lenin, Liebknehct, Luxembourg and many marxists at the time were either relying on or were directly involved into the newspaper campaigns and articles, going as far as having a lot of their own newspapers (and it was at the time when it was the only medium of mass influence). Just Youtube videos or Jacobin wouldn't suffice. Besides, we don't even have proper AgitProp (stuff like creative design, posters, art). Many genuinely good anti-capitalist art pieces aren't even done by open communists but rather by attentive libs. This isn't cyberwarfare, but this involvement into internets culture is necessary too.
