Baby leftist. Slowly learning since it finally hit home that all the “nice things” said by liberal politicians were hollow and really only further the problems I saw around me. The more I read the more I realize there is much much work to be done.

  • That’s what I was hoping for, a more active local org that was involved in support and that I could volunteer with, even if it wasn’t as out as walking around with CPUSA banners. However in my area the CPUSA club is tiny tiny. Like TINY. Being in the southern US, it’s fairly dangerous to be a known communist with the neighbors a lot of us have down here.

    Whereas I couldn’t care less if someone wants to try something towards me, threats or otherwise. The few party members I’ve met are young’uns that have an ok grasp of theory, but faced with some of the opposition I can definitely see coming up… we need more people and more community support. To my knowledge it’s basically less than 2 dozen kids for the whole state chapter. Quite possibly less than one dozen. Obviously I’m not trying to say that any comrade would in any way not be welcome… but there’s a lot of work and organizing to be done and growth is definitely needed.

    I’ve been trying to think of different ways to find more, I really need to get more involved in things where there are larger groups of people involved in mutual aid and community action and look for them, but like I said that’s what I was hoping for in joining. I’m in no way a leader but we need a lot more action. As we don’t have the numbers, and even if we did, I think the best option is to get involved in actions and volunteering that we agree with that’s not necessarily communist, to get the ball rolling building and finding our people.


  • I already have YouTube premium and I’ve moved from Spotify to YouTube music (since that’s included) years ago. I’ve been using Google podcasts for several years and it works well enough. There’s several Patreon podcasts I listen to and until YouTube music supports rss podcasts it won’t be my main podcast app.

    Now, this stupid “commenting on songs” thing YouTube music added I have zero use for. Why tf would I want to have a social interaction while I’m trying to get a dopamine hit from loud music that rattles my bones so I can FORGET ABOUT SOCIAL INTERACTIONS for just a moment. JFC it makes no sense to me. Apologies, rant over.

    When Google gets rss podcasts on YouTube music I’ll switch over
