Not going to go in detail but I’ve learned I’m too autistic to do like, most organizing work

Anybody else? I just kinda do basic administrative manual labor type shit now

    Like many folks mentioned there’s plenty of work to be done in making a party function.

    You could help your financial departments with record keeping, your tech departments with nerd shit like updating and maintaining websites, your arts and propaganda department with drawing cool shit, your history/research/archivist department digitize old shit or organize documents, hell even just volunteering to be the dweeb that helps keep all the social media stuff posted up-to-date is important work.

    People put all the glory on field work but forget that without a support network to make sure they’re well-equipped to do the work they’d be hella nerfed from the get-go. Always remember that any form of work no matter how little it seems to be is always necessary in some way shape or form to the overall movement and whatever contribution you can make no matter how small is always appreciated.

        This is actually a bit of an issue for the western left, we’re so small our parties aren’t big enough to allow for a lot of activist specialization. You either take on a lot of work or you barely participate at all. Honestly as someone who hates being in the public eye id love it if there was some big communist party where I could be like, idk, assistant to the treasurer or some bullshit in some local branch. The closest thing we have to this is the DSA sadly.
