I am interesting in grouping up some marxists, anarchists, postmoderns and social-democrats (IKR... we can bring them in with this crisis to the revleft) so we can get a common library going, discuss the situation of our nation, etc...
Any tips?

Suggestion: Start with what you'd actually like to accomplish. A library? A discussion group? Pick something that is necessary and lacking where you are, then start from there.

Everything is lacking. The left in my city is next to non-existent, the ones I know are isolated and the meaningful (number-wise) left are anarchists painting A's in O's at every single wall hoping someone opens their eyes to the truth of their ideas if they see enough of those.

I personally know some 10 leftists, and that's because I actively seek them and attempt to befriend them (with varying results). But I know there are many social-democrats, anarchists in the students and some (most revisionist) marxists in the teachers.

My goal is to form them up in a single area where they can exchange Ideas so we can reinforce each other's beliefs (Londrina is a very reactionary city, the right here is strong and the far-right feels at home), aswell as evolve personally in studying politics, analising the present politics and society of Brazil and blablabla.

Well, a reading or discussion group sounds like an alright starting point then.
Start with the "some 10 leftists" and agree on topics, pick a time that works for everyone (or at least the most interested/committed people) book a space (somewhere public), make some posters, do some outreach . . .

I'd personally love to get some updates on this - what problems are you encountering? What progress are you making? Etc.

Actually I'm in the moment studying physics and math (from a 60% minimum, I got some ~30% grades. I NEED 100% grades or I will re-do the whole year) while studying my nation's military dictatorship, I need to make something awesome to gain the respect of my philosophy teacher.
No one is really interested in this apart from me... I will attempt to convince them after the dictatorship presentation is done with and I get some good grades...)
