In one hand it makes you aware of how things function in class-society and even in nature, and help you form an objective analysis.

On the other hand it makes you depressed about the current capitalist state of the world.

    Amazing answer! I’d add that in my experience the best antidote for depression is getting out there and organizing. You’ll feel a lot better when you see how well our message can resonate when you do it with people who make a habit of putting theory into practice, it’s also a great way to make IRL friends. There are active ML parties all over the world!

      My hope is to be able to join the PSL (U.S. based Marxist Leninist party, short for Party for Socialism and Liberation) properly someday (rather than just donating and watching webinars as a part of the Action Network). For now I have a lot of mental and physical health issues I’m working to overcome, with the Social Anxiety being my biggest obstacle to actually going out and touching organized, revolutionary grass.
