What are some skills that can be turned into hobbies that would be good for a Leftist to know? (hexbear.net)

Extending the useful life of everyday things and learning to make your own reduces consumption directly which I would argue is anti-capitalist.

Even better if you can channel that into mutual aid via either helping to educate local comrades or using the fruits of your labor to help your fellow workers.
