This one's for the ones who haven't seeked out a party or organization to join. I'm just curious what's stopping you? We're at the tail-end of a global pandemic and a deepening crisis within capitalism, and the sooner you develop the organizational skills necessary to navigate the coming years the better off you'll be to agitate for the working class, for the dispossessed etc.

This post isn't meant as an attack, just thought it'd be good to start a conversation on the matter. Perhaps there are things I haven't contemplated and I'd like to shine a light on my blind spots.

(p.s. shouldn't this comm be called askhexbear? idk)

    Well, there's never been a socialist revolution in a developed nation period, so by that logic one should never join any sort of org at all. This is the only thing is the thread so far that I can't agree with. The point is to develop a program which can gain the support of the working class. If you see that as unattainable why even be a Marxist or anarchist?

        Trying to transplant what worked before onto a different time and place is of course anti-marxist, but of the unrest that industrialized states have faced in the past, (France and Japan in '68, US last year) I think you can agree that more gains could have been achieved with a more organized, more militant movement at the helm, no?
