I do not mean this as a rhetorical question: I mean it literally. Tell us what’s stopping you! I don’t want to invalidate you, but the opposite. I’m sure people here would love to help if it’s possible. Post away!

Personally, I think Covid and the general amount of work everyone does are the two biggest obstacles to community building. Not just for me, but everybody I know. It’s nearly impossible to build a community when nobody has the energy to even play a video game together, and actually meeting up in person can literally kill you. There are definitely solutions, but we need to realize them as problems first to find them. If you have suggestions, please share them! Same goes for the issues everyone else shares (if they’re ok with help, of course).

I'm far too introverted and private to be a "leader" of anything so trying to start my own group or do entryism into an existing group is a no-go. All the leftists groups in my state are a joke. My work place is CHUD Heaven, the owner loves hiring Vets so I'm nervous to even bring up not wanting to invade Venezuela to them. I don't really want to start a union to help imperialist failsons get more treats.

Plus I'm pretty doompilled at the prospects of organizing in the imperial core. The anti-communist propaganda and tasty treat cocktail the West has dreamed up is just too damn good, everyone's brains are jello. Making myself miserable in the probably vain hope that I can build .0000001% of communism doesn't seem worth it, I'm pretty dedicated to matt-grillin at this point.
