I recently finished 'Ten Days That Shook the World' and the idea of 'revolutionary discipline' really stood out as something that 'the left' should be taking more seriously.
The enemy is disciplined and organized. We need to be the same. And it starts with the individual, especially those who want change.
Personally, I'm working on my physical fitness and theory right now. Also, I'm taking my local organizing seriously within my DSA chapter. Sure they're not perfect, but we gotta build, educate and agitate. It's pretty hard when you just want to watch TV and get high, but I'm trying to be better. Capitalism wants us to indulge in destructive habits that inhibits a healthy, educated working class.
Is anyone else trying to work on their so called 'revolutionary discipline'? Or am I getting ahead of myself?
I'm starting to make small changes with 'being ready' in mind. The eating / cooking part I should really make an effort of learn. I love the idea of growing produce (my wife grew peppers and tomatoes this year) but I don't really know how to cook with produce/ decent ingredients.
