I’m going to try keeping this as anonymous as possible, so I won’t be going into where I am, of course.

An IRL comrade told me several years ago that the only way ahead in political organizing where I am is to start something myself. I disagreed at the time and I’ve spent the intervening years trying to find an org that was doing something and not handicapped by a poisonous national committee. The benefit to that was that I’ve found some good IRL comrades from various shitty orgs that would be worth joining with in the struggle, but that first comrade was right and I hate it.

I want democratic-centralism. I want political education. I want praxis.

So, I come to you with this question: How do?

More specifically, regarding political education, does anyone have a good, well-ordered reading list? Like, from babby’s first socialism to contemporary political analysis.

I’m much less worried about the praxis side, as the majority of my experience is in labor organizing and the other comrades I want to propose this idea to have experience in other community organizing.
