It's not the dogs fault, they didn't have a say in the matter

The answer I arrived at after much thought and trial and error is kinda you don't. The framing of recruiting as I see it is not that effective, the way to do it is to be close to the masses, and help people, preferably in an organized fashion, with no strings attached, and along with the help you talk to people even some people with quite different views from yours and listen to them and have conversations, like about hobbies about their work about family stuff, establish a relationship of respect with people, once you get that they'll listen to you when you talk about why things are the way they are, and the idea is to give people the tools to judge their own reality, and if your organization is doing things well the natural consequence is that some people will join. But if you lead with the dump of information uprooting their worldview and often antagonizing the views of people who they respect or love, you will almost always be seen as a raving lunatic because for that person's life and social relations it's a lot easier to ignore you and keep their old views, so to change that you gotta be part of the person's life, be the friend of the people, operative word, FRIEND

Edit 1: and when I said to help the people I mean things like what VaqueroRed said about social movements or even what you say about material help, those are very good mechanisms

The one about revolution that says, "It will come, and it will bring bread, but also poetry", is quite inspired as well. Trot had his moments, and he must be respected by his work on the revolutionary and I believe the Russian "civil" war, as a general, which he was and for what I know a competent one. It's important to remember the figure as a whole, even though he deserved every bit of the pickaxe
