Im 15 so my parents were concerned about me going to the capital city of my country alone to ""watch a protest"" as i told them but i reassured them and went on. I am so glad i finally got to meet up with comrades from the communist party! It was a protest concerning the rising housing prices and the communist party and various other parties like the democratic socialists etc. marched along the streets chanting "bella ciao" and other things. I even made a board on which i wrote "housing is a human right". I talked to many people, mostly demsocs and communists. Im just so happy to finally have done something real and not just read theory and talk online. I know it isnt much this littly protest and the communist party was the smallest faction of the movements who were present there....but its something.

It's always cool to make socialist connections irl!

It is something, and it's always good to meet with people in the real. Being a communist can be an isolating experience and it is both good personally, socially, and also for the movement.

We should always learn the ropes to whatever we can for when the time comes, such as organizing. Especially in Western societies where our very ability to socialize is under attack.
