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)
When I'm working full-time, I've barely got enough energy to cook food for myself. The days off that I get are generally just spent recuperating and trying to get household chores done. The idea of putting time into going to meetings, or doing volunteer work, seems far off.
I'm not saying it's a great excuse, just that it's my personal experience with my work life, although I'm probably not alone. People with changing schedules and shift work have a hard time doing stuff in their off hours, especially if it's a physical job.
Yea I hear ya, that tracks. I have a hard time organizing the stuff I'm supposed to be organizing and I don't even work a full 40 hours.
