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

    I agree.

    I hate to say it but I really feel like at present the ironic, uncaring, lazy attitudes among leftists are rewarded the most with likes and upvotes. And maybe it was ironic at first, but eventually the lines blur and meld.

    Obviously that's to be taken with a large grain of salt b/c online != real life, but if you're online scrolling and posting a bunch in a way that isn't just blowing some steam during your free time as a brief diversion as opposed to compulsively doing it in place of other activities, you're already being lazy and allowing the escapism lure you into a deeper complacency.
