How has social media saved socialism (8)

How was social media saved socialism?

Forget the idea that Twitter and Facebook are bad for democracy. Bubbles can be beneficial, and help emerging movements unite against the elites. Socialism is stubborn. After decades of dormancy verging on death, it is rising again in the west. This article looks at how socialism is gaining popularity again and exactly why that is. It explains how social media has acted as a powerful weapon for Jeremy Corbyn. 

• Jeremy Corbyn just led the Labour party to its largest increase in vote share since 1945 in the UK
• the British election saw the highest turnout in the last 25 years
• it’s one of the most crucial and least understood catalysts of contemporary socialism

I feel that notion of digital platforms, like social media, have become increasingly more important in creating a politician's image whether that be positive or negative. I find it ridiculous that some politicians try and disregard it rather than use it to their advantage. Politicians like Jeremy Corbyn demonstrate just how powerful it is.
