Ask Lemmygrad

Top my head, brainstorming/freeform:

• make video games or animated movie shorts with revolutionary socialist narratives (yes you can make the next Disco Elysium)

• learn mandarin move to China and use your skillsets there

• discover and learn how to organise a vanguard to build pro-social sectors; this will involve the organised accumulation of capital which you cannot do alone

• learn theory as you attempt to solve problems; for example you may want to build an art form to educate on socialism and you may use the narratives of historical figures such as Stalin, Mao, Ho Chi Minh to do so - this will involve educating yourself of their history, reading their literature etc

• branch out from your skillsets; video game building may lend itself to other app building. You may for example able to build the beginnings of a Wechat equivalent that could be side loaded to android that comrades could use to subvert the capitalist state with its own communication and trading protocols (yes you may need to include your own non-speculative blockchain currency)

• intelligence and knowledge is developed; they are skillsets like any other

• cross the river by feeling the stones :)

• if you find theory overwhelming then to begin with go to redsails.org pick an article that takes your fancy, go through it slowly and may be read one or two references that peaks your interest at the bottom of each article. If you haven't read one already here is something to start you off: https://redsails.org/why-marxism/

• join a real life socialist group outside of the internet (they will inevitably have their own failings and contradictions, may be as a litmus test they should understand why a dictatorship of the proleteriat is important and not be reactionary, and should have actual plans on how they may help out the local community with tangible benefits); if / when you do this make sure you have a separate phone with a separate email/online identity for this if possible
