  • very good post. if you can’t go out into the world and talk to people without thinking about how they’re all irredeemably evil treatlerites and you tell yourself you only feel that way because of “materialism” (ie you read some internet lenin’s essay or watched a youtube) you’re not going to organize anything more than that disco elysium communism book club. it’s hard work and it’s going to take a long time and that sucks, so come here and let off some steam, but if you live in the west, don’t just automatically give up on everyone in whatever hellcountry you live in. if you can’t find an org, volunteer for something useful and integrate yourself just a little bit into whatever community exists where you are. if that’s too much, and all you can do is gently nudge a couple of people in the right (left) direction, you’re still doing something real, even if it feels small. even if you’re not in a place to do any of that, there’s still value in reframing the way you think about these things and maybe eventually getting to the point where you have the capacity to do more. but you can’t do that if you’re envisioning the person who drives an uber for 6 hours after their wendys shift as an intractable foe drunk off the riches of imperialism.
