I was actually worried that it wasn’t gonna take off since I don’t know many real leftists here that aren’t anarchists. But I recently found out that the college I graduated from has a socialist club and so I reached out to them and they were all basically like “hell yeah we wanna join!” We also added a new member to the list this last weekend too.
And like these kids are alright. They all seemed to come from a “grew up in a conservative household and stated deprogramming in my teens” background. When I asked them about radicalization, one even said they sort of woke up after reading the Wretched of the Earth by Fanon. So like, hella based lol. It went from possible failure to “let’s get out and agitate” basically overnight.
I appropriate the support from my fellow online comrades. After my DSA branch fell apart overnight, I was hesitant on organizing in my city since it’s mostly libs and chuds. But I’m trying to take what I’ve learned from DSA and also very much take this PSL thing seriously. They really make you put in the work and I think I’m up to the task. I will admit that the first meeting was pure anxiety since I was completely out of my element. But I’m getting it I think.
