This is a Dengist community in favor of Bashar al-Assad with no information that can lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton, our fellow liberal and queen. This community is not ironic. We are Marxists-Leninists.

See this GitHub page for a collection of sources about socialism, imperialism, and other relevant topics.

This community is for posts about Marxism and geopolitics (including shitposts to some extent). Serious posts can be posted here or in /c/GenZhou. Reactionary or ultra-leftist cringe posts belong in /c/shitreactionariessay or /c/shitultrassay respectively.

We have a Matrix homeserver and a Matrix space. See this thread for more information. If you believe the server may be down, check the status on status.elara.ws.

I feel demotivated by party work again because I cannot seems to convince anyone of taking some more action. Our recent project will include more of a fund raising thing for a niche group and even though that is very noble and all I do not, to put it bluntly, see the benefit of it when it comes to party building.

If I think back on the mission the party asked me to complete, which is attract people 'like me', and see what we are planning to do, then I simply conclude that this is not it.

I feel very arrogant saying this, because I know fuck all really, but I also know that the current sequence of events does not motivate me to do stuff. We are not a charity, to put it harshly. If I look at our demographs and if I look at who are currently not in our demographs, I feel like different things need to be done.

But I cannot get the party to see this. And I don't know what to do.

It absolutely sucks not being listened to and feeling demoralized by your org. One tactic you might try, if you haven't already, is to talk one on one with people who are influential and might be receptive. That way you could build a coalition around what you want to do before proposing it in a group setting.

Because leaving the party and not being organised does not seem like an option

Write a resignation letter saying you are unable to complete the task assigned to you with the resources and support the party can provide. Say that you need to step aside so someone more capable can take up the project. Try to lean into the personal failure aspect with an undertone of having not gotten enough support from the party. Say that you aren't wanting to leave the party but you understand if they don't need someone who was incapable of running a simple project.

Its passive aggressive as fuck but sometimes that's the only way to deal with having your suggestions ignored.

Looks like there needs to be a mentality shift in the party. That'll take time, but I feel like that will happen eventually, with the decline of the imperial core.
