I’d say that’s a good idea. Without getting too into the weeds, this is a Marxist comm so I’d say this:
Find how the contradiction between capital and labour is most pointedly expressed in your area. If there are groups working in that sphere who don’t seem totally useless, join them. If not, try to start one. Hopefully you’ll find some people who don’t think that differently to you. People who you can talk to about Marx, and Lenin, and how Marxist theory applies to all of your concrete lives.
But remember that everything is to build power for the proletariat. As I said in another thread, feeding people is a beautiful thing, I’d never say “don’t feed the starving”. But to be an effective communist it has to be married to a political project, otherwise you’re just spinning your wheels.
(This is assuming you don’t have a decent CP in your area, and seeing as we’re talking about the American ecosystem I imagine you don’t)
