Is organizing supposed to feel the same way as working on a group project in highschool? (hexbear.net)

Where no one appears to take initiative, no one responds to messages, lines of communication are confusing or things are not communicated at all, and so on?

It's bringing me back to where I feel like I have to try to actually get things done and create momentum by myself and I'm the babiest/newest person so I'm nervous to bring criticisms even though they're encouraged.

Is this common? Am I perhaps being too critical? I figure no one can answer that one for me but jfc I was hoping to be more supported by people who claim that demcen is important.

If anyone can share how they go about expressing concerns/criticisms constructively, lemme hear it

It's almost kind of sad how easy it is. I wish there were robust socialist leadership that one would have to compete with to get a leadership position, but that's not usually the case. Even people who are well intentioned are often already burnt out because they don't know how to build an organization that can support them (recruitment -> onboarding -> development -> fundraising as the foundation)
