Following my recent visit to the USA, I have gained a newfound respect for the communists living within the country's borders. It's just unbelievable what you all have to put up with.

Like I won't say that absolutely everything about the USA was bad, necessarily, and I of course have my own biases at play here... But the point sparing the details is really just like, I've spent the past month thinking practically every day about how every single US-based communist really must be working in incredibly trying circumstances, if even just visiting had me feeling lethargic and kinda wanting to go home within a week. Now that I'm back home again, that time in the USA is already starting to feel like a strange dream again.
So, uhh, what are your secrets, basically? Like I'm sure that all the nonsense of the USA feels like less of a burden to put up with if you grew up with it and have spent little to no time in other parts of the world, but still. I honestly do not think I could live in the USA until it is decolonized, but when that happens, it wouldn't be called the USA anymore, anyways.

feels like it can actually do it and I love my comradesYeah same lol, being in a party formation that's explicitly anti-imperialist in the belly of the beast and who work against the active settler colonialism of the US, it really helps practically and psychologically

psl feels like a life raft in a sea on insanity to me.
i hope that it's not a leaky life raft because all of the leftist organizations in this country seem to keep shooting themselves in the foot due to internal politics.
