Context: I live in a smallish to medium sized town in England with no existing socialist/ communist/ anarchist societies or groups that I know of present. The closest I can think of is that we have a Green Party candidate (which is a pretty socialist party)

I've been consuming leftist content for quite a while now - I'd say my deprogramming kind of started during the coronavirus lockdowns but I really started considering myself socialist around 2 years ago. I'm tired of having these beliefs that I don't really seem to act on other than having the odd discussion with friends - I was wondering how I can start mobilising within the community to get real change done. How can I start meeting politically likeminded people in my community. I feel like it's hard to get together as no one ever says they're a communist that often.

Thanks in advance.

Organizing is really just working toward a common goal. It entails creating unions, spreading propaganda, feeding and housing people, mutual aid, protesting, etc. The ultimate goal is communism, but for now we are just trying to raise consciousness, prepare for the next revolutionary situation, and help those that are suffering today (including helping victims of imperialism).
