I've realized that the local org I'm in is filled with theory heads. That's not a bad thing in itself but when these people do nothing except endless bureaucracy and theory study it gets old fast! It just feels like the org is COINTELPRO-ing itself by making itself useless by having so much procedure to the point where I can't anyone to even agree to run a newspaper ad for the org without going through five layers of approvals.

Sorry for the mini rant sigh

So what I really want to do, and what I think the left needs, is some sort of mass communication and propaganda outlet. I'd like to create counter-propaganda and set it up so others can easily add their contact info. Kind of like templates, but in more of a structured way vs. The very decentralized way agit prop is made now.

Does something like this exist? PSL near me just does protests. There was one ultra Maoist but that turned into a drama meltdown with DSA. There was a CPUSA chapter here that was basically 4 people who hated their national org and I haven't seen them in over a year.

Maybe I just need to go off on my own and make my own stuff. I wanna be a good comrade but ironically the people are hard to deal with. It's hard to be serving the people when I don't do well with people ๐Ÿ™ƒ

Soberana is a collective in Brazil that is doing exactly that. They are targeting specifically online spaces though. Still, pretty successful these last few years since covid.
