I am really curious about how we actually combat reformism on a societal scale. Like, I understand that it just doesn't work, but that really doesn't hold up for people. So I'm curious on who has a plan for how to convert reformists, or outcompete them, while not getting alienated from the ultimate goal, socialism.
Idk how to use reddit and didnt know how to use tags so second times the charm
Hey, so for background im a trans fem lesbian and i am just having trouble and its lowkey getting to me. I havent had a loving relationship in two years. my ex lost interest in me thought it wasnt important to tell me and stole all my friends in the process. Anyways just putting that there. I have been getting new friends and ive been wanting to try dating again, but the 3 crushes ive had didnt work out, one turned out to be straight and had 2 boyfriends, other was just a lil young when i asked her friend about her, and the other like yesterday got a boyfriend infront of my very eyes. I am out of cute girls in my life and it feels shitty. Ive been taking out my apparent lack of luck and ability to pick up on myself. i dont know where to go to find someone. i honestly barely know how to gage if i should ask someone out anymore, idk how to make them feel comfortable, idk how not to be fucking weird idk,, people say im weird. ive honestly just hit rock bottom, some of my friends have said theyd be on the look out for people id go well with. another one of my friends genuinely felt so bad, genuinely didnt know i was that cooked but yippee i guess. I play guitar, i dress masc, i like rock music, i am political and passionate, i like star wars, i like cars, what ELSE could a girl want bruh. where do i go, should i ask my friends to help in anyway, i dont have much money to spend on this, so dont like say oh sign up for a sleep away camp or whatever, its too late. iiiiii just dont know where to find girls that would actually like me, and i like back, or am i just too neurodivergent to ever get a partner.
Hi, I'm not sure if this is the right subreddit. I have a small dilemma as an organizer. So I am the founder of a very small new organization to build class consciousness in my region; we uncover bad things that certain corporations do to the working class and common people in our region; we also help teach immigrants our language and customs to help them find jobs, and we also do community service. It is not a self-acclaimed communist organization; it doesn't really have a label yet because communism is the only way for us, but it is severely frowned upon, so we have to spread communist ideas far and wide under a different label, then have people become more comfortable with the direct idea of communism using several different methods, but that's besides the point. I want to hear from other, probably more experienced organizers and activists about one key thing: mindset. I often have this "I need to save the world" mindset, and it puts me into a panic shutdown, and I cannot work on this properly and clearly. I do want communism to win; I want to play a role and contribute to the movement. I see in my nation that it is increasingly reactionary, but it also is increasingly socialist and doubtful of the system; it is just that our government is really good at stopping movements and squashing threats to capitalist power. It seems impossible to deal with all these facets: propaganda, take advantage of this socialist youth(60% of 30-and-under support socialism and 30% support communism), these left populists, and these angry, discontent people, and turn our working class, who are mostly right-wing populists and conservatives, into communists. The pipeline is there; it is just not established. It just takes a toll on me and my work-life balance, my stress, and my overall vision. What can I do to tackle this differently, change my mindset, and fix this trip I constantly have?
