it isn't but i decided i was done with that and also i often have to travel to them and stay there for work and so i'll never be done with that.

i get so bored outside real cities. can't take it. i can handle rural life if i have to and i can handle a shithole apartment with rotten roommates in a bad neighborhood but god save me from the insipid "niceness" of small towns

This week my classmates found out that I was communist when I said I only want to date a Marxist (duhhh). It lead to a very productive conversation about the merits of communism and faults of capitalism. I've been getting pretty good at communicating radical ideas to conservatives and liberals in a way that's palatable to them. I'm a pretty good speaker, but I need to do a better job remembering specific stats and events to further support my ideas.

I'm going to start some sort of organization that gets trades workers more involved with the community. But not for another year at least. I got a lot more learning to do and want to get more experience with existing organizations in my area. But for now it feels really good to have something I can work towards that'll hopefully better the community.

Ever since I started taking marxism seriously I've been able to use it as a sort of motivator to reject my bad habits and develop good ones. And so in the last year i've been incredibly productive in a lot of areas in my life. I'm a completely different person since I quit my greasy job two years ago. A better, happier person. And I'm excited for my future.
Unfortunately the city I just moved to has cocaine fucking everywhere and that shit is my god damn kryptonite

You should write a pop self help book on using the principles of Marxism to improve your relationships and take control of your life. Then you'll have plenty of money for cocaine.

I've already published it. A little book called Fuck and Destroy

My job situation has taken the "slowly circle the drain staring at oncoming death" path, which is better than an immediate messy death. So I have the time to think about maybe going back to school for some kind of interdisciplinary horseshit that'll be easier to leverage, or to take my time and schmooze into a position with some other organization that I can tolerate.

There's also the option of splitting our org into a radical branch that will keep its current extremely limited funds and a sunshine and rainbows "face" branch that will do Raising Awareness crap and hopefully receive cushy grant funding, in which case one way or another I'd probably still have a position, but it's a divisive plan and I don't know how I feel about it.

sounds like the radicals are gonna get fucked
