Speaking of that, does anyone have a recommendation for a few good books on the Russian communist revolution? How did that happen?

does anyone have some good examples of socialist literature I can print out and give to people/talk about? I'm in the suburban/rural South so it's mostly poor white people exactly like you talked about ^

I already signed up to the psl a few days ago and haven't gotten a response from them yet. I feel like they are overwhelmed at the moment.

I wish the PSL and other groups were more organized and consolidated into a single entity. I worry that some of the people who would have been swayed to go do something will calm down if no one gets to them in these coming weeks.

Yeah but it's really hard to figure out a way to get people organized without some help in getting the materials, ideas on what to do, etc. Those are things that a party should help with, imo. Either way, I've been talking to people about it around here. I'm just worried someone will recognize me at my job and I'll lose it.

I put in apps for a few about 2 weeks ago now and none have responded yet. They are either hugely swamped or have given up

It just seems so unlikely to convince people that the two party system isn't the way. It's been like that for so long

Tacky-rear end Rococco posted:lol at this whiny bullshit. The same logic that says capitalism must be replaced also says that capitalism will resist being replaced with all its might. If revolutionary socialism is doomed to fail unless capitalism just rolls over for it, you should probably pick a better political philosophy. Hmm on the one hand there is an 'idealist' philosophy that believes in treating other people as brothers and sisters. On the other hand, gently caress everything, profit is sacred. Yeah I guess you're right, I should give up just because it's not easy!

I'm thinking of joining the IWW. I don't think the psl is very interested in a random guy from Alabama joining because they probably don't even have a branch in the state. Also I'm starting a socialist club at my college. Lots of Bernie voters who could be brought around imo

Plenty of people I know have said "I don't care about the facts, this is how I 'feel'" so appealing to things being true is pretty useless imo

YPG is also a Marxist-Leninist group, though how much they believe in that is up for debate.
