  • We do what we can, comrade. It may not be the be all end all of everything, but every little bit helps.

    I’m just starting my organizing journey via tenant organizing and grassroots union radicalization, and I feel you, I really do.

    We all have our own strengths and weaknesses, and I think finding your own niche helps ward off the drag.

    You got about a year on me, so I’m sure you’ve heard this all before - all I can do is express both commiseration and solidarity. Do what you can, don’t burn out, and keep up the revolutionary optimism.

    Graduating from “leftist” Reddit, I’m afraid.

    Gonna glaze the 'grad specifically - on the whole it’s done wonders for my revolutionary optimism and mental health, which in turn has lead to me actually doing some organizing irl.

    Finding places full of people who actually know their shit and aren’t swept up into the lies of neoliberalism and capitalism is a major step up from feeling utterly alone and helpless in the imperial core surrounded by people who at times feel utterly alien and unreachable.

    Basically just using this space to say thanks for existing, as well as thanks to such incredibly consistent and well-informed posters like yogthos, cfgaussian, cowbee, rainpizza and others for their constant analysis and discussions that have definitely patched up a lot of holes in my own understandings of leftist history and thought.
