What do you see as your primary role in the struggle?

[MarxSchmarx]

What viable role do you see yourself primarily playing in ending capitalism?

[leftistman]

Organizing labor unions, workers' strikes and promoting workers' control and of the means of production.

[Prometeo liberado]

I would assume that most people on RevLeft are involved or at one of several stages. Learning, school, uni, self teaching. Organizing along the lines of an established organization. Working for an NGO. Mainly focused on the next demonstration and lastly, posting here. Some are a mix of all or a few. I see it as a gradual progression leading towards becoming a hardened professional revolutionary or eventual burn out on the road to becoming a Neo-liberal, kinda like a trot.

irrelevance and impotence

Yeah I know, I was joking.

I'm not too sure what i'm good at yet, but I assume i'd be alright at organizing events and demos and stuff. Whatever persuading people to go to an event, propagandizing that event, and using the megaphone when nobody else wants to is considered. Honestly just whatever I can do to help around.

[Welshy]

I get drunk and complain about trotskyists on the internet.

This is a good thread and an important question cause I think a lot of newly radicalized and not newly radicalized people have a hard time finding their bearings sometimes.

[TheGodlessUtopian]

Cosmopolitanism really.I participate in education, activism, leftist justification, I speak wherever I can, disseminate information when appropriate and try and talk with those people who will actually listen about the importance of socialism. All around handy man I suppose.

[Tim Finnegan]

I contribute to the decline in the rate of profit by being shit at my job.

[pluckedflowers]

I document past capitalist history so everyone can see that (1) it's not some eternal reality of human society and (2) it's fucked.

[La Comédie Noire]

Participant in labor struggles and a popularizer of ideas.

[Dennis the 'Bloody Peasant']

Saying I'm a leftist and getting into pointless arguements with liberals, fascists and people who just think Kate Middleton is like oh my god so glam.

[Proukunin]

I voted direct action..I don't even have to read through the comments on that one.

By the way i'm buzzed. Don't take my comment as being dickish.

Other, comrade: posting / polemicizing, strategic theorizing (not so much "invincible justification"), historical documentation, but also other options not presented above

Agitate, educate, organise.. I'm hoping that my party and I can play a part in the formation of a new radical, broad and internationalist mass workers party. To that effect I'm currently involved in most of the activities listed in the poll, with an emphasis on organising campaigns and meetings and writing into and distributing our newspaper.

The unfortunate exception would be militant union struggle, which I definitely support as a method but which is non-existant and, I've found, hard to initiate at my work at least at this point. This fact got me disillusioned with syndicalism, and drove me into discovering trotskyism.

However, I'm still definitely of the opinion that a radical union struggle is one of the corner stones of the workers movement, and it annoys me enormously that I can't play a more active part in that. I do at least talk about politics with my workmates pretty much on a daily basis, though.

Overall, I do feel that I've improved considerably from my early Revleft days when it was pretty much only option 3 for 364 days of the year and option 1 on Maydays.. :blushing:

[Rocky Rococo]

I'm getting old and sick now. My days of community organizing, going door-to-door, organizing neighborhood meetings, kitchen table strategy sessions, taking a sign and leaflets down to the busiest intersection, are starting to slide away from me now. At the same time, after 35 years of organizing, activism and studying I've acquired a fair amount of knowledge and insight so I make use of any available outlet from letters to the editor to blogs and outreach to people on social media, and, yes, RevLeft, to share ideas and experiences.

[o well this is ok I guess]
