Like I won’t say that absolutely everything about the USA was bad, necessarily, and I of course have my own biases at play here… But the point sparing the details is really just like, I’ve spent the past month thinking practically every day about how every single US-based communist really must be working in incredibly trying circumstances, if even just visiting had me feeling lethargic and kinda wanting to go home within a week. Now that I’m back home again, that time in the USA is already starting to feel like a strange dream again.
So, uhh, what are your secrets, basically? Like I’m sure that all the nonsense of the USA feels like less of a burden to put up with if you grew up with it and have spent little to no time in other parts of the world, but still. I honestly do not think I could live in the USA until it is decolonized, but when that happens, it wouldn’t be called the USA anymore, anyways.
Yeah same lol, being in a party formation that’s explicitly anti-imperialist in the belly of the beast and who work against the active settler colonialism of the US, it really helps practically and psychologically
psl feels like a life raft in a sea on insanity to me.
i hope that it’s not a leaky life raft because all of the leftist organizations in this country seem to keep shooting themselves in the foot due to internal politics.
I’ve been in for two years and am constantly surprised by how well run it actually is

Caring too much about a better world to knowingly replicate unhealthy activist patterns
