CG, an active Zohran campaign volunteer, was radicalized during the course of the campaign. He said he wanted to “keep going” and “do even more” now that the campaign is over.
He found the New York Marxist School through our Instagram page and attended every session on both days, despite not knowing a single party member.
In discussions during the breaks and at the socials, he learned about the RCA’s perspectives and strategy. After the closing session of the school, he came over and said, “I want to join right now. What do I do?” He joined the party, paying the equivalent of a day’s wages in monthly dues. In addition to joining, he bought six books from the bookstore, and I gave him the two most recent copies of The Communist, and the newest issue of In Defence of Marxism.
I called him the next day. He told me that he’d already read the center spread article from TC 16 and the first 40 pages of What is Marxism? and had prepared a list of questions he was planning on bringing to his communist cell meeting this week.
