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).

I don't have any organizations where I live and I'm certainly not brave enough to start one and face the ostracization that will inevitably come with it

I always thought though the advice was perhaps what one would want to do, it seemed more like the one who was advising was speaking platitudes. Without specific suggestions adapted to the conditions of the person being advised, such advice was idealistic in effect.

Like the Chad/Chaz zones in 2020? They tried already. Would have been cool to see that stay real just to see what would happen... But it got slaughtered by fear of differences. And I'm not saying this as a "communist". Fear, difference and lack of faith is murder of real freedom. And that's something we're all reminded of daily regardless of sides.
