Just because you can’t wake up and say you’re serving the motherland does not mean you can’t wake up and absolutely crush it as a communist in a capitalist world. You can wake up and serve yourself, serve your community, and do as much as you possibly can to dismantle oppressive structures and get us one step closer to a communist future. Do self care, but don’t grow complacent.
“Complacency is the enemy of study. We cannot really learn anything until we rid ourselves of complacency.” - Mao
Edit: we need something corny like /c/motivation or /c/discipline it’ll actually be so helpful
This is how I aspire to be. I work hard on the job, I hit the gym, I educate myself, I try to be a caring and loving person. Because not everyone knows I’m a leftist, but when they find out I want them to be “surprised” because I’m a good person and work hard. What helps me to not get miserable at work is to try to create some sense of working solidarity. The company as a whole doesn’t even cross my mind when I’m doing a difficult task and doing a favor for a coworker. I only focus on my coworkers and making their lives and jobs as easy as possible
This is great, I agree 100%. The best way to radicalize someone is to lead by example. We should all strive to become the antifa supersoldier.
