Marxism; lets read, read, read and get a perspective and place in regards to its theoretics.
Local Mayor; I don't give a shit who you are, what you do, or any of your board members.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Does anyone else have this, perhaps, issue? When I want to study theory, I can devour book after book, have endless conversations on it, and write countless essays on my perspective of it as it grows. But with local issues, like upcoming legislatures and even budget spendings, I cannot hold a second of interest to even become familiar with names.
It's not that I think local issues aren't of importance, but I feel like their unimportant. At the job I hold now as a cashier at the supermarket, I worked with the union to establish a 12 hour minimum work week for part time workers, but, after that, I had a few people talking to me about local issues regarding the town municipalities and how this party has more money then this one and all this other stuff, and I just didn't care.
Am I the only one here who can't seem to hold any interest at all in local politics? I don't feel like I have an interest in politics as a whole, but only in society structures and economic formations. I have this deep resentment to become active with local politics primarilly because I don't care but also because I feel like it saps my thoughts and places them into issues that I seemingly don't have a place in. I think I have this mindset only because i've spent so long studying radical and global change that I just lost patience for local issues.
