Q&A

pablo-honey-porno-zombie-deacti asked: Also, I am a young adult looking to get into politics, but I don't really know where to start. Where would you suggest someone like me begins?

I think the best approach to getting involved is 1) reading theory and understanding present day challenges to destroying capitalism

&

2) Finding new & creative ways to meet those challenges.

Right now I think some of our biggest problems in the fight against capitalism revolve around the fact that we need systems and infrastruccture to stay in contact with each other, we need to commit to co-ordination, we need groups that focus on merging technology and on-the-ground activism to help us meet this need, we also need to make our language as clear and accessible (and even approachable) as possible, which means distancing ourselves from the terms (not the ideas) of previous revolutions (i.e. Bolshevik heavy language, etc) 

If you can find a way to meet needs like those, in some small or big ambitious way, then I think that’s a pretty good place to start. Thanks for reaching out!
