I’m pretty new to the leftist online space and only recently discovered that I probably have asd but have known for a while that I have ADHD. You ever feel like your interest in communism is fleeting and/or a temporary hyperfixation? I know I do this alot where for a few months I’ll find a topic and it’s all I’ll talk about or think about and then eventually it drops out of my consciousness permanently and I don’t think about it ever again.

I don’t want that to happen with communism or politics in general. I feel I have a moral reason to stick with this one but I fear it is out of my hands. Do you guys struggle with this too? I feel it would be easier to stick with it if I made it materially part of my life through volunteer action or party organization but there isn’t much volunteer work where I live and there isn’t a party presence either. How do y’all navigate this?

    It has crossed my mind but it hasn’t happened yet (and it’s been years), we are living through too grotesque of a period for me to look away ig

    I think that making it part of your life materially if possible, but also socially (finding some comrades, even if they don’t toe the hexbear party line, people who you can at least vent to about the state of things and they’ll understand) is the way to do it
