I'm curious, how many are active in socialist politics? Members of an organisation, fundraising, soapboxing etc? I'm guessing there are quite a few armchair socialists in the house

[Elect Marx]

I helped start a communist group sunday. We have much to do.

I'm actively involved. Someone who calls themselves a revolutionary but isn't in a party is just an idealist.

I disagree. I'm active, orginizing and educating, but I'm not a member of a party. The communist parties in the US are useless.

Does it count if one glues the locks to McDonalds, Burger King, Fur Shops and so on? Or is it terrorism?

[Unrelenting Steve]

Im in a certain party, I cant say much as this might be traced back to me, but lets just say that revolutionary activity is not always obvious.

[the SovieT]

i am...


militant of JCP and PCP bla bla bla i think you all know the story....

[redstarshining]

If you're only a socialist if you are a member of a political party, then I'm a lousy, lazy armchair-revolutionary bastard. If organized political activism counts, then I'm an active socialist ;)
Although I've been thinking about joining a political party recently.

From all political parties in my area, the DKP ( German Communist Party ) is probably closest to my ideals, however, they are a pretty tiny group who have been knowing each other for decades, and I don't know anyone from this party. Feels like intruding into some kind of family :(
I will probably go to one of their regular meetings in the future, if I ever have a day off.

I like the Antifascist action, they are VERY active here in Germany, and they do a lot of great work here. :ph34r:

[sliverchrist]

I'm active where i can be. i feel hesitant in joining a party right because i feel too under read, too unsure of what i really stand for yet, but its only a matter of time before i get my shit together.

to be in a org. isnt to be active.. quite the contrary.. most of them just sit around and talk about stuff... i am with the ARA group in chicago.. we are mainly counter protestors.. but some of them are militant, me included. but... che wasnt part of a socialist group till the cuba thing. so my freind are you calling che a arm chair revolutionary?

Oh well, your right comrade, theirs no point in joining a party just for the sake of it. I just feel being in a party and being organized is the best way to influence and affect change.

[Invader Zim]

Partys are pathetic, all they do is meet together, and begin posturing and posing like self rightious idiots, then go home in their 5 door hatchbacks to there 3 bedroom houses for tea and buns. The same goes for practically all western partys from what im told.

Well that was my experiance of socialist alliance recruiting rally i saw a few years ago in london. I was unimpressed.

Depends on what you mean by &#39;active&#39;. In my area there _are_ organizations that are active in many ways but not affiliated with any political party.

me? or YouKnowTheyMurderedX?

[Organic Revolution]

you i think it was

[Dr. Rosenpenis]

i have little idea as to which denomination of socialism i follow, so how can I possible try to influence others or join an organization. I&#39;m still in the learning process. I have, however, arrived at several conclusions regarding some ideological issues.

Then I think you misinterpreted my post. I was trying ( and failing ) to be sarcastic.

[RevolucioN NoW]

Im a member of resistance socialist youth organisation in brisbane, australia. i occasioanlly help the relativley newly founded socialist alliance in its activities.

My knowledge of socialism is not great however this is certainly not a limitation when organising and recruiting.

I also contribute to the Books not Bombs publication in our area amongst others.
