I’m pretty new to the leftist online space and only recently discovered that I probably have asd but have known for a while that I have ADHD. You ever feel like your interest in communism is fleeting and/or a temporary hyperfixation? I know I do this alot where for a few months I’ll find a topic and it’s all I’ll talk about or think about and then eventually it drops out of my consciousness permanently and I don’t think about it ever again.
I don’t want that to happen with communism or politics in general. I feel I have a moral reason to stick with this one but I fear it is out of my hands. Do you guys struggle with this too? I feel it would be easier to stick with it if I made it materially part of my life through volunteer action or party organization but there isn’t much volunteer work where I live and there isn’t a party presence either. How do y’all navigate this?
I say if you are really passionate about it, I encourage you to write about it and share your thoughts on the topic! We would love to see different perspectives of how society can implement Marxist principles.
Don’t listen to the people telling you it’s just a phase or it’s just another hyperfixation. I believe that political thought and ideas are valuable and discourse around it, however toxic it can get, can lead to more clarity as to how we can organize better as a society. So, get pen into paper and write your treatise, comrade 😊
