Well, first of all this is an assumption I can afford college, which before then is an assumption I can pass high school.

Actually I have lots of questions around this idea of even having a career. I feel lost right now, and really only feel working for the revolution is my calling in life.

Is there ways to get there? Is it possible to be a professional revolutionary in the States? How can I build around this purpose?

    If you have this much time to plan in advance, and you are aiming to become a professional revolutionary, I would plan to move to China or Cuba and get a degree in Marxism from a state college if I were you. In the states, one can be a revolutionary, but aiming to be a professional one is unlikely. It’s not a thing right now so that would have to change. It’s more of a certainty if you travel abroad. Unless you’re thinking of changing that here, in which case any advice I could provide would fail to assist in that scope of things. Many unknown challenges and some predictably known challenges which will be challenging to overcome. Either way you have a lot of time to consider and plan things, I suggest you do so thoroughly.

      Interesting Studying abroad in AES sounds cool, Cuba sounds especially intriguing. Problem is my GPA is in the tank and I’m a senior, will they still take me?

      Will I be able to come back to the states? I feel there is a need to counteract the shitstorm with the States as it crumbles. Not to mention I’d feel guilty if I left only for nukes to land in the hands of rabid fascists and boom there goes the whole world.

      Strangely Im not worried with the shaky road ahead of my revolutionary journey., who knows maybe I’ll be the next Che Guevara. “The name ‘El Gringo’ still strikes fear in capitalists today” mwahahaha.

        Will they still take you? I don’t know. I don’t know if that matters, what the standards are, etc… Will you be able to come back? Depends. If you become the next Lenin I imagine they won’t want to authorize that returning visa.

          True true, but there’s ways around that ;)
