    I organized with fightback for a little, the org grew until it just about needed a north side and south side kind of split (like, 40 members meeting once a week was getting to be too much).

    We never ended up doing anything. We went to protests and hosted lectures for the general public, which was cool, but other than that zilch. We also had a weekly chat about theory and it seemed like most people blew it off. And they were always hitting us up for money so they could send a few people to the general meeting. Plus they insisted on selling theory and newspapers all the god danm time, lol. I heard bad things about fightback in Quebec (like, sexpest stuff) but didnt encounter anything bad in that vein at that my local fightback.

    I got discouraged because while it seemed cool that we were growing, everyone was a student or a downwardly mobile student. I was the only non university educated person there and it seemed like they weren't serious about doing stuff in the community or recruiting wider than university kids.
