Communism! - What can I really do to make a difference

[Ihateamerica]

Hello all. Ive been a communist from cappie england for many a year now. All ive been able to do is vandalise cappie cars, vandalise GAP and write insulting letters to local conservative MPs. But what can we really do?
Ive tried looking for looking communist groups but theres only 3 of us in the local area

Welcome to suggestions on things i can do to help the cause

hmm, I think that this belongs in practice....

But as for what you can do..... who knows? You should try joining with a youth party, but if leftists in your area are few, try joinig a communist party. I'm sure that there may be demonstrations organized by them on occasion. It may be worth while checking out :)

I think you should join the SWP or some other communist organisation in England, and you and your other 2 comrades should start to build out a leftist community in your region (with personal agitations, seminars & stuff for the youth, in the sec.school/univ, everywhere where you think it would make an effect) If there are more of you, you could make better organized actions and campaign. (I think vandalizing is not a proper way to weaken the system, it's rather individual stuff) The other thing which I propose you to start reading the works of the classics of Marxism. Doesn't have direct effects, but it is inevitable for the good movement work.

first dont vandalise, thats pointless

second, read about marxism, once you have basic grasp of marxism you can enter the group you think is most correct

third, get a group of like minded people and educate them too, then with that cell you can do something.

SWP the Cliffites right?

Didn't one of the leaders write an article for the bourgeois press saying that he was ashamed to be british and appluads the French and German position on the war on Iraq? Sounds like a pretty dodgy org to me...

[Dyst]

What do you mean by dodgy org? I thought everyone here were against the war. French held a great position on the war, so did German for that matter.

[LoneWolf]

stop vandalizing, that is patethic, nobody is going to like communism any more if you vandalize random cappy cars!
you should join protest and demonstrations, and you should march for your case, dont vandalize and make havoc!
try finding a commie club, even if its far away.. or you can find some other commies form uk and you chat with them arrange meetings, demonstrate in front of public buildings, dont vandalize them...

[BRIN]

join the IRA and blow polititions up,they might not be a communist party but hey thats where i'd be if i lived in england

[Nobody]

Brin, that's fucking retarded. We commies got a bad enough name wothout people like you telling people o blow stuff. That can wait for the revolution!! It's coming soooooooon.

[LoneWolf]

is it?
then i wnana join :P

yeah, shows what a petty bourgeois viewpoint they have. Shows their complete lack of understanding in terms of what the UN is, and yet they dare call themselves trotskyists.

If i were you id stay away from groups at the moment, and just get some books to read
[b]Read the following to have a good political understanding of socialism:[b]
Communist Manifesto
State and Revolution
Left wing communism, an infantile disorder
Imperialism the highest stage of capitalism
one step forward, 2 steps backwards
Tasks of prols in revolution
What is to be done
Right of nations to self determination
The above are all Lenins works

[b]id also recommend [b]
revolution betrayed
in defence of the russian revolution
Theory of permanent revolution

[b]Contemporary books id recommend[b]
Bolshevism the road to revolution
Lenin and Trotsky what they realy stoof for
History of British trotskyism

but once youve read these you will be real dogs bollocks
:)
i still have to read most of those works
