Hey comrades, allow me to introduce myself.
I am a Democratic Socialist and also kind of Anarcho-Syndicalist. I'm not a communist, but I do sympathize with their cause. I am anti-stalin and not too keen on Mao, but I'm pro-Che, and other revolutionaries, and I've acquired an interest in Trotsky.
I think that we all start acting on what we say, before we just become people typing our thoughts and not actually doing anything to make change. I'm not sure if revolution is the only answer as of yet, but reforming, here in America, to an actual government of the people does seem far out of the way.
Questions I have:
What can I do to actually make a change? Where and how?
What kind of reading do you suggest? Let's just say I'm a beginner, if just that most of the reading I've done has been random searches on the internet.
How can I find a local Antifa chapter?
And these 'revolutionary' online stores, are they legit? I mean, are they made in third world countries and run by major organizations or what?

And I think that's it, I look forward to learning more and putting my 2 cents in as well, and pray to... uh.. Che that I won't be the next Mussolini.

Spasiba! Viva la Revolucion!

Welcome to the forum, Comrade.

I don't know about your local community and the particular priority issues it faces. For example in my area, there has been a particular rise in fascist activity and I'm looking to build a local non-sectarian anti-fascist propaganda team, and that's what I'm focusing on.

Looking at your own community and seeing what you can do is important. Look at local unions, anti-fascist groups, anti-war, anti-capitalist, and socialist groups that have debate and democracy. Assisting grassroots activism is a way to establish working class consciousness and allow you to listen to others' ideas and develop your own analyses, and allow you to win others over to your opinions.

I am not as clued up on the US far-left scene, but I am sure an American comrade will advise you about socialist, Marxist, M-L, MLM groups.

Marxists.org is a great online resource for theory if you're wanting to develop your own analysis from reading socialist political philosophy.

I hope you get answers to your other questions and that you have an engaging time here.
