can you call yourself a communist if you're not active?
I honestly don't think so.
Organising is hard, thankless work and if you're not even doing the bare minimum of showing up for study sessions and doing at least some small piece of work I don't think these lazy comrades deserve to call themselves communist.
Literally every org has problematic leadership.
This demand for pure perfection is ridiculous amongst some comrades that are turned off organisations due to whatever problematic feature is in them.
These deficiencies could be corrected if enough decent comrades joined and became active.
