I want to help however I can, and I guess the best way to do do that is to join a party, but since I’m a closet commie and I depend heavily on my family (conservatives) I don’t even know if there is anything I could really do to help.
I’m autistic and ADHD, even taking a bus makes me a little anxious, so I don’t know if I could go to protests or give out pamphlets, or anything public oriented for that matter.
However I thought that maybe I should still give it a go, maybe send them an email explaining my situation and hope for the best.
What are your thoughts? (And if I contact them, is it fine if I use the “Al-Andalusian” nickname or should I use my real name?)
Edit: I filled the form on their website wish me luck 🙏
Join a party, absolutely. I would probably recommend staying away from trying to create a chapter or club of a party for now. Mental and physical issues made that a nightmare for myself. However, pre-existing chapters are very often glad to have people who can only even show out occasionally, and they will likely have work that you can do without having to be on the social front-line as it were like logistics and planning, if that’s your cup of tea.
If it is possible and reasonably safe you should definitely try to join. Of course explain your situation to them, it’s best to be open from the start about these things. If it doesn’t work out, it doesn’t work out. At least you will know you tried.
Best of luck, comrade!!
How old are you? If you’re a minor a party might need your parents permission, which might get complicated. I’m sure with ADHD you’d be able to do at least something of use, you don’t have to an outreach person or whatever. I’m guessing you shouldn’t need a pseudonym (i dont) but I’d like to hear others’ thoughts on that.
