Hi. I’m alienated, living in the imperialist core, I have no political representation, and none of my friends are communists. Except from this website I feel extremely isolated. How are the rest of you faring?

Yeh…
Random thought, but have you thought of posting some sort of Marxist reading club on social media.
I just left. Moved to Vietnam almost two years ago. Moving to China next month.
That’s my goal as well, it need not be an AES country, anything but the great satan.
Thinking this is my only real option to be honest.
What do you do for work if you don’t mind me asking? I’ve always considered this but I don’t think they have much need for white westerners without college degrees :(
My partner does TEFL-teaching which does require a degree of some kind. I work as a per-hour contractor for the company that I was a W-2 employee for back in the states. I’m losing that gig in a month though, because they don’t trust my network from China. I might have to go the TEFL route too.
Ok, thanks for the response!
It seems the only options are TEFL or being very high up and specialized in your industry. No PRC for me any time soon
most important factor in staying sane is doing something that you think is politically worthwhile. go join an org, you’ll also get some friends who are communists
hang out with my baby and build communism with
I do party work and spend my spare time digging for the remnants of the CPUSA archives, that CPUSA tried to destroy, scattered through out the country on top of my own personal hobby of researching the historiography of the Stalin period of the Soviet Union
Mostly liquor, drugs and being an absolute clown, constantly joking and not giving a single fuck about anything.
I spend way too much money on weed

general drug/alcohol addiction, ymmv with this strategy
Step one be born petty privileged
There’s no step 2
Seriously though, it’s hard and for me, I do find people I can check in with to make sure I’m not being too off in my perceptions.
Ahh, poorly
I tried giving up and not paying attention but that’s not helping either
I just started reading Burnout: The Emotional Experience of Political Defeat and so far it’s the only book I’ve seen that really, really attempts to answer this question.
Thank you!
100mg spiro 4mg estradiol per day (joining an org helps too)
