Again, no fedposting. What the hell are we doing here USAmericans? are any folks getting more involved with their communities at least?

Obviously not all of us are in epicenters of obvious or extreme violence, but what are ways principled communists are stepping up?

No fedposting!

    No need to put yourself or your efforts down! This is a piece of agitation and education, and its always good to hear a comrade not leaving their politics at the door because its socially problematic or inconvenient. In some of my own relationships I’ve struggled with towing the revolutionary line (its a work in progress as always), but I do always try to push back on liberal and fascist narratives + educate and agitate when folks I know bring them up. Are you involved in any orgs?

    FWIW most of my agitation time is spent with a local org where we use a variety of tactics to attempt to educate, agitate, and organize, and that feels (in a purely vibes based way) much more effective since we can reach a much larger audience and community members we’ve never met before. We do struggle with organizing actions to try getting folks on the ground and organized not feeling effective at times (or being somewhat liberal in nature, even if the rhetoric is revolutionary), and I would love to hear from other orgs on how they have successfully turned well meaning libs into thoughtful communists consistently.

      I was, but they were hardcore Trots lmao. I pulled back from them several years ago (International Marxist Tendency, but as Trots do, they’ve split since then). I’d like to get involved with PSL given that it is the largest and most influential communist party in the US right now. Now that I’m recovered from some serious medical issues it’s about time I submitted an app/contact. There’s another more geographically limited org with a serious history that is worth reaching out to as well, but I won’t name it at this time for doxxing purposes.
