Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

So you agitate. When there are enough Class Conscious individuals in usa the party will begin to crystalize, no point in trying to force it when the conditions aren't correct.
Reddit is a cesspit just don't go there. It is built to break you. Get off reddit. Anybody who espouses actual Marxist Leninism on reddit gets banned. The only way to be a real communist on reddit is to keep it on the DL and be very measured and careful in your wording. These accounts who proudly proclaim to be marxists on reddit are allowed to exist because they spread false consciousness.
That is a CIA psy-op just ignore people who say that shit. The 3rd worldists on reddit are mostly petty bougies or white collar, the labor aristocrats of their own nation. They are blaming the american left for the capitalists exploiting their countries while doing nothing themselves to throw off their own bourgeoise who exploit them with neo-colonialism for their own benefit. They are every bit as useless as the americans waiting for China or Iran to save them.
How can I effectively agitate if getting out of bed is a struggle and simply getting through one day without crying or cutting myself is an achievement? I'm useless.
Then you take care of the particular (the problem stopping you from action) before the universal (the action). Get medicated, find support networks, call helplines as much as you can, journal, and remember that material conditions predecede any form of conciousness - so you will not get better if you don't get up. Set up the smallest goals. Do not think about achieveing them. Instead of "getting better" think of what personal material conditions you can change, so you are better. Remember Marx from the 18th Brumaire: "Men make their own history, but they do not make it as they please; they do not make it under self-selected circumstances, but under circumstances existing already, given and transmitted from the past." Your position is still materially different than that of an Indonesian sweatshop slave. You can and should make the best of it.
I got banned from a subreddit for telling someone to investigate their beliefs even if they are sure they are true. Not to disprove them, but to strengthen their beliefs. To be fair, DPRK was mentioned. I was really pushing it telling someone to investigate history.
