Yeah, I am feeling a bit of doubt that I have the will and the experience to organise effectively, but again, it isn't just me alone, of course I don't have the experience and will to organise by myself, it's a group effort, this is how I should be feeling about it, the need to work with others, the want to work with others. I don't know why I've never really made that connection reading theory before. Maybe it's because this is more personal accounts than more abstract theory, accounts of regular Soviet citizens, not a major leader of a movement. I've never felt like I'm "vanguard party" material, but this is the first time I've ever really felt ok with that I guess, I just need to help others as much as I can. I might try bringing this book up with a few local orgs I work with. It might just get put on an ever expanding reading list (as is tradition) but it also might really help them, there's no harm in trying.
no one is born with organising epxerience. there are so many newbies in my org who have never read theory or even know the basics of party work. we dont shoo them away. its important that through participating in party work everyone can learn. if we only accepted people with experience and knowledge there would be noone left.
Exactly! Organizing is a skill that can be trained.
