I get that organizing is important, but I still don't actually know what that entails. Like what am I supposed to do? It's kind of like telling a straight guy who wants to get a girlfriend to just "be himself." So when I see someone complain about the hellworld we live in and a common response is "organize," it feels kinda condescending. Same with "join an org." What org? How do I know which one is good?
Like for real, why isn't there some sort of organizing guide or FAQ on here? There's a recommended routine for body weight fitness and there's even a 14 day primer on getting started (https://old.reddit.com/r/bodyweightfitness/comments/kofo8l/bwf_primer_buildup_community_event_day_1_happy/). So where is the organizing primer? I mean it can start with something really simple, i.e. "on Day 1, say hi to a neighbor if you see them out walking (no need to get into a convo unless it just happens)." Like tbh how about a 14 Day Primer for organizing? Even the radlibs on the Bernie campaign had training sessions before having volunteers do stuff like call, text, or canvass. Even pick-up-artist idiots have training programs (e.g. day 1 talk to a random stranger and ask them directions, just say your phone is dead, etc.). We should have one too.
This website is probably one of the worst "social media" platforms to reach people trying to organize because everyone's so paranoid. There are serious limitations to anonymous/pseudonymous online left communities like this one. Social media spaces where normal working class people actually are (think local facebook, local twitter, among others) - as contrasted with mostly highly politically-educated leftbook type spaces - are the places where most people are introduced to existing socialist organizations online, including those in their area.
But nothing beats actually finding out about local events and going to them yourself, and getting a sense of who's actually turning people out to support a given cause. Are there any socialist organizations going to important city/town council meetings where some local capitalist or landlord group is trying to screw over local workers? If you go outside for work/groceries/etc, do you see any leaflets on lightpoles? Is there anything going on politically at or near your local college or university? DSA usually has the biggest presence in the big cities, but if you're here you probably want to join something more revolutionary than that (unless you think you're up for the task of playing tug-of-war with the useless Dem-entryist national leadership).
