Maybe they're an especially egregious example because of how fucked up their power grid is, but odds are it's not gonna be that much better when the rest of the country gets their own unique climate disaster.

    Its never too late, and don't let bullshit entryism get in the way of you learning solid skills.

    In a real equitable society, the line between artist and worker shall be no more (at least not anywhere near what it is today). Any skills you pick up now can only help our movement and provide good example for what we stand for.

    Really, the best way for us to gain popularity is through mutual aid, but not simply the usual kinds, but also in labor. If we as a movement were to go neighborhood by neighborhood offering to fix simple household issues, think of how many minds we could change. Perhaps thats a bit idealist, but I think there is something to the whole jack of all trades laborer in the leftists movements.

      Yeah, it’s weird but I think about when last podcast on the left covered Jamestown, how they described him initially building his movement was just being willing to go out immediately and fix people’s problems. Obviously he had ulterior motives but I think it makes sense that people respond well to having their material needs met and conditions improved
