Just curious and getting a feel, but why?
I am not in a party myself, because I can’t see any active in my area that I like and those I tried getting in touch with never replied.
For now I’ve settled with joining the IWW and hope to organize my workplace at a later date when I am more settled in, but as of now I am a newbie to my industry and to my company.
Maybe once I learn organizing techniques and get a network of people I can trust in my area, I’ve considered organizing a new party locally, but as of now that is more of a interesting thought than something I can actually accomplish in my current situation with my current knowledge base and current network.
What about you? What challenges have held you up so far?
We have organizations, but none who could call themselves a party. If you’re not swept up in student politics you’re building your own local chapter from scratch. Searching on the internet is almost impossible because most of the time you will be redirected to American discourse and end up doing nothing for your country. If you’re not from one of the big cities, then you’re already lucky if your town has a communist affiliated reading group that accepts non-college students. I’m one of the few lucky ones, esp since we have semi-regular activities other than reading. Even if they’re trots. But I’m not even sure if any leftist organization in my country has more than a hundred members. We have at least a million dead communists though, if that counts.
