apropos to nothing posted:

preferably a socialist organization. its difficult to get involved in socialist or left politics because there isnt a mass socialist or workers party in the US and so if we want something like that we have to build it. im a member of socialist alternative and would encourage anyone here looking to join a marxist political organization to check us out and feel free to pm me if you have any questions or wanted more info but also can look at our website: https://www.socialistalternative.org/get-involved/

theres also a whole DSA thread in this sub which you should also consider joining or looking into, theyre currently running a membership drive to reach 100k members. theres a wokrplace organizing thread which is pinned to the top of the sub forum. theres also a myriad of other unions, organizations, parties, etc. whos politics you may find you align with and i encourage anyone whos a member of one to drop their info and pitch into the thread or discuss them here. politics is (unfortunately) something you have to be an active participant in and the kind of organization necessary to effect a real change in society isnt one that you can just join, its one you will have to actively and consciously build yourself, so everyone go and do that.

to be sincere for a moment, there's a lot of work to be done that doesn't necessarily involve a lot of talking to strangers. obviously you'll still be doing a lot of talking and working with your fellow activists and organizers. but at the end of the day, talking to strangers is very important because those are the people that need to be persuaded. moreover, even if you're mostly doing back office work or making stuff or printing or whatever, you're going to end up getting pulled aside at an action by some rando who has questions. you need to know how to speak appropriately as a representative of your org. only way to really learn that is going out and doing it with someone who already knows how

the meetings are boring if you're not involved in anything. get in a project or working group
