I've noticed that mutual aid efforts in an org often focus on directing aid outside the organization, essentially operating as a charity. Additionally, many leftist orgs are quite small and could benefit from additional membership.

I'm wondering if it might be better for a mutual aid org to focus its aid efforts internally? It is mutual aid after all. Please understand, I recognize that helping one's community is worthwhile, but an org focusing aid internally materially benefits the self-interest of its members. If one sees material benefit to joining a group surely they're more likely to join?

Am I off base here? Seems like an idea worth developing.

Is this guy cool? Does he have any capacity to spread socialism to Sri Lanka? What's the current state of politics in the country?

TankieTube just got its second patron! Thank you, mister or misses or nonbinary anonymous secret donation person!

Literally everyone poops in some fashion or another, and it all smells bad, so how could anyone possibly be bothered by it.

For the love of all that's good in this world, just let it end. Enough already.
