@Ashrand My problem with reframing it is that I don't know how to do that in a way that's concise and also completely honest. I don't want to mislead anyone by accident. I agree with everything you said, but irl I'm awkward and a people pleaser so either the leftist politics will end up being reduced or there will be very few people. If I were to make it more focused on praxis rather than names/theory (with debates of course) i think it could work but I'm...well, anxious about doing it.

@theanxietyitkillsme @Ashrand I think you’re on the right track—start by organizing around one or two issues that matter, especially if you know some people around you will side with you on those issues. Once you have a group of people discussing and working on an issue campaign, you will already have some support (from them) for a broader political theme.

@theanxietyitkillsme I very much get that, it's why i say it's hard to hold onto your politics when you are trying to carry that across, focusing on praxis is one way about it. A co-operative group that is still ideologically opposed to the conservative one gives you an opportunity to engage with people and your ideas for example. Being closely focused on left wing issues (the difficulty of living under capitalism, the need for mutual aid) is natural anyway under those conditions.
