Wassup, comrades? I used to post on here constantly. Then I very consciously took a break because I thought it would be good for me. Removing some internet stimuli from my life brought me some peace I hadn't felt in many years. More importantly, since I had some extra time on my hands I went ahead and organized a union. We won our certification vote yesterday.

There was a little more to it. Some people at other worksites had already started the campaign, but as soon as someone approached me about I jumped in all the way. It's the coolest thing I've done in years.

I just wanted to remind you all that working class organizing cuts through a lot of bullshit and it's good for the soul. I'm sure all run into frustrations with this project, but at least it's real.

If you're looking for direction for your political energy, the AFL-CIO organizing institute is something to look into. I went into the program a long time ago (decades ago). They gave me a little training and gave me a list of factories to apply to so I could work on organizing campaigns. The experienced has shaped my entire adult life and given me skills and experience that have made me both a better organizer and Marxist.

I am Joseph Stalin now.
