you actually have to "go outside" and "build some communism" to learn how to be a communist. not all knowledge comes from books and articles, and you can learn a lot from IRL organising (hexbear.net)

seriously. it's not that big a deal. if people in gaza are still standing up to their oppressors every day then you likely have zero excuse for not doing more IRL shit (political reading and writing at home are good, but don't mean anything if you're not applying that theory as practice and then assessing the results and adjusting your practice accordingly).

Would you like to elaborate?

Lol don't listen to them, just prepare to expect some very boring weekly/bi-weekly meetings. Attend them anyway and diligently get the work done.

Yeah, that's what I figured.

Also fight the biggest communist there on the very first day, that way all the other communists will know what you're about.

Should make sure you're working out and staying fit and active. If you're going to attend protests and things, you do want to be prepared for when shit hits the fan or if someone throws a punch at you (which may or may not happen depending on where you live, still better to just be able to handle it if it does come up)
