What do I do if my country has been neutered when it comes to left-wing activism? My only option for a party/org to join is a demsoc party which is seemingly pro EU and pro NATO. What do I do? Should i just focus on bettering people's material conditions by working for charities, try to make my own little group, or maybe something else?
If you can find like-minded people, not like a vanguard that you're going to use to start a coup but enough people who are radical-ish/extreme progressives, then start a mutual aid org or similar community union sorta thing that addresses a major concern for your community and that is aligned to the politics of the people who you can find.
This might be student unionism, tenant unionism, a soup kitchen, anti-Zionist activism, anti-war activism, solidarity work etc.
If you can't find enough like-minded people then you're gonna have to make 'em lol – start a reading group and get involved in developing and shaping people's class consciousness and their politics.
