    Where do you think the role of American Communist truly lies? I have thought for quite some time that the global south is the future and our job is to first and foremost do everything we can to stop interference abroad.

    Also, Chattanooga is dope, definitely one of the cooler places if you want to stay in the south.

      I wrote up a response to a similar question elsewhere, so I’ll paraphrase here. Our job is to fight fascism at home and support fraternal organizations abroad by joining and working with our domestic communist orgs. We can’t help the revolutionaries in the global south alone, but inter-organization solidarity is very useful and there are often concrete initiatives we can get involved in!
