    I find that keeping my social life completely separate from my politics helps. My friends are a way to escape everything and I try not to preoccupy my mind with stuff like this if I’m just going to the beach or something because if I don’t then I will go mental. If the movement can’t handle me separating myself in order to focus on stuff that actually makes me enjoy life then it was never that strong to begin with, Marxism is just a way for me to solve the world’s problems, it doesn’t dictate how I enjoy the things I already can

      Interesting view, thanks. I do enjoy helping in a political movement. It’s as if years of anger and a feeling of not belonging in the world have finally found a place to escape into. The hate I feel for our current system is immense. But instead of making me miserable it’s giving me the strength to move on.

      It’s not that I don’t do any fun personal stuff anymore but some things just became less of a priority.
