Hi there. I've joined my country's communist party a year ago, and for this year i've just worked in my province local circle.
From what i've observed nobody as much of a clue (or at least doesn't show it), from the party's administration (who just aims to exist another day as a party, just financially and bureaucratically) to the lowly comrades like me, on what it is to be done.
I've meditated for a full year on how things should work at our stage, but i admit i have no clue on how everything should work: mainly the local circles. This is a problem because now i'm secretary of my province circle. And now i don't know more than ever what to do.
So, now i come for help, i couldn't find any resource for what it's our stage in a socialist plan (near 0%). Briefly: we are 500ish in our country, 50ish in my region, and about 8 active member in my circle. We are mainly "middle-class", petty bourguesie student's.
What should we do to basically START? By literally the basics, my comrades don't seem to auto-organize much, they need quite an encouragement to work thorward something. And after I get around on how to manage the circle, what will we do on the long and brief term in my city? When should I go for activating the whole region rather than just my city? And how would I go about scaling everything?
Now I've figured I should build a collective where political discussion (which is pretty dead in the city) could florish. Also I should find a way to engage my comrade in actual Marxist theory (they just have a vague understanding). From this I could show the party's administration my worth and aim for regional secretary (and iterate the process).
But, again, I'm lacking any resource on this.
And ultimately, the most important, how do I avoid feeling like a teacher giving homework to my comrades? I want this to be about "us" not me.
Thank you very much!!
