I run the midwest.social instance as well as the undernopretext.social mastodon instance
I’m a provisional member of my local SRA chapter. It’s not all Marxists, so you’d have to play nice with other ideologies there as well, but I like what I’ve experienced so far. So far I haven’t seen any flame wars between ideologies on there. We all hate capitalism and imperialism. They’re friendly people focused mainly on mutual aid while also being pro-gun. I haven’t heard about any gun orgs that are strictly for Marxists.
The way it worked for me was I signed up for a paid membership online which got me access to the forums where I then posted an introduction about where I’m from. Someone should reach out to you on the forum to give you more info about the chapter you’d join. In my case they invited me to a discord room where you set up a time for a Jitsi video chat with members, after which they voted in private to approve me and I was then allowed into the rest of the discord channel where everyone communicates. I wish it wasn’t on discord and would be on Matrix or something but they said it’s the easiest to use and set up at the moment.
I’m disappointed to say that I never got the chance to go there. My brother lives on Lorain Avenue a few blocks away from West Side Market and I’m surprised he never brought me there.
Lucky. It’s still illegal in Ohio where I live.
Thanks! I bought it here: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1484023935/fascists-deserve-a-platform-guillotine
Ohio city used to be an affordable, working class neighborhood. Now it’s bougie as fuck.
I’m worried about what will happen when Dave’s Market shuts down in Ohio City. Lots of poor people in that area will have to find a way to get to Steelyard for groceries.
Shhhh! Don’t give away the secret!
