I'm committed to furthering Communist efforts, but as a high school student in a notably conservative state in the United States...what can I do? There are few Marxist at my school and there is a large Republican base because my school serves a rather rich, suburban district.

Please give me your ideas, comrades.

I'm in the same boat as you, comrade...except about the chunk "a few Marxists"

Well, what I'm doing now is just (I'm not sure, you probably already do this) educate, educate, educate! Meaning, well, mostly yourself (since ur fellows are mostly conservative) by reading a hella lot of political classics, i.e. Marx, Kropotkin, Bakunin, etc. Cuz when you get older, you can GTFO :D carrying knowledge and educating working class and people that would actually listen.
You can also, maybe, just a suggestion, debate with people?

Well, another thing is to start a club. First, it could be just a vague organization about school issues, community issues, etc. Then, you as a leader can start discussing issues that lead more and more into socialism or communism (without ever using those words of course!)
I think some people would be interested to join :)

make some podium discussions, at least students do it in my country, mostly at faculties like philosophy and sociology. at some alternative music clubs, we made film projections and discussions after it. topics can be really different, from activist media till some problem in your community or some global problem and organizing about it.

If you have few comrades you can make small propaganda group and do some kind of propaganda actions like postering, leafleting etc. and you can make a discussion group which is in MHO the best way to start, especially if you are young.
My comrade is 16 and he started discussion group and a lot of kinds, mainly liberals, showed up. To some of them this experience may change their political views.
