From outside looking in, union organising, mutual aid organising among immigrants and marginalized peoples, self-defence training and mobilising against wars. All of these should be done with a communist programme as a unifying factor (and parties really need to focus on better divulging theory in the age of Hasan).

All of those should preferably be done with a communist party guiding and supporting the efforts. Yes, even if the party has an incorrect line, that's the whole point of scientific socialism and democratic centralism. If you're that convinced of your positions, defend them internally until you win or get expelled.

Asking advice on the internet is a good first step, but you'll only ever know what to actually do by getting organised, with your organisation setting the priorities. Communist action requires communist organisation.

Thats an interesting and refreshibgly honest take. Most people dont do much irl i have to assume so they dont have experience to understand that there is no perfect world. Most is pure theory from the ivory tower and hence nobody knows that you dont have the luxury to seek an org forever.

Example: currently i'm in a small party of which the local branch is destroyed pretty much. There are like 3 people and a dog (joking). The other place is said to be a fed op and all others are trotskites.

I fought in the bourgois left but they started suing their members if they went too far away from the government line so I left. The small group is really slow in doing stuff but I'll do my best. Lets see. Being the stubborn asshole that i am i might actually get stuff done. :)
