    Default Tps on How to Be More 'Politcal Active'

    I, and some others, might feel that they need to be little more politically active in their Community. So I would appreciate it if people would post on this thread some ideas on how to raise public awarness about Socialism, Communism, Marxism etc. Any advice would do really

    Thanks

    A good option is to find a progressive organization to join and see where you get while in there. I was about 18 when I began organizing with my state's chapter of Code:Pink.Though they are not all exactly revolutionary they come close with many being revolutionary.In this group I got to speak several times to a decent sized crowd advocating revolution,as well as go down to major leftist events where I was able to meet YSA comrades.

    It will probably be different in your state but the example stands: find a grassroots group and learn the ropes then spread out on your own with your own initiatives.

    The creation and dissemination of agitprop is what communism really needs these days. We need to make the nuanced and complex aspects of Marxism more accessible to the person who would otherwise be disinterested. Speaking to the universal experience of the proletariat under capitalism is of utmost importance.
    To wait until the toiling classes bring about a revolution on an international scale means that everybody should stand stock-still in expectation. That is nonsense.

    I don't know if that's a joke, but either way, doing things alone will just make you easier to overlook.

    The RCP is basically a cult around the glorious leader and the reincarnation of Mao, Bob Avakian, but it's a million times better than the LLCO.

    Just join another Marxist party that isn't exclusively Maoist. Whatever has a branch in your local area.

    A good comrade started an anti-cap group in Utah, alone. Now it has three chapters with weekly meetings.

    A lot of the work I did in San Francisco I did alone.

    +1 for self directed, solo actions.

    if you are a student, create a flyer and post it up on campus for a reading group or something at a some place of your discretion (that is semi-public and not creepily secluded)


    do a reading group, talk about politics from a socialist perspective or whatever. and dont talk down to people if you do something like that.


    oh, and SHOW UP FOR YOUR OWN EVENTS even if no one else does. stay for the time period you allotted on the flyer and read or whatever until someone shows up.
