Thank you for this, I never knew much of this. I might attend my local Friends meeting some time. If nothing else I can just be a really bad Quaker in that I’m not so strict on the pacifist part.

my understanding of Quakers is that they tend to be pretty liberal politically and are pretty opposed to any sort of violence/revolution. there’s also a lot of historical examples of big time Quaker capitalists/companies (like Barclay’s) and when i reached out to a Quaker subreddit i got pretty tepid responses about their feelings on socialism and especially revolutionary socialism. some did point out though that Marx may have been influenced by John Bellers, a famous Quaker, so there is that

I’m a fan of their episode on the 2016 primaries as well as their stuff on Davos and the new economic order stuff

It’s very easy to feel hopeless and alone right now, I certainly do. What I can offer you is solidarity and love, and the encouragement that the Marxist movement is growing worldwide getting more and more dedicated comrades every single day. If anything you can hang on to the hope that you will get somewhere better some day and join a group to engage in struggle against capitalism.

There’s a lot of fighting we have to do before any sort of collapse is imminent. Stay away from those subreddits. Wherever you go, you will be welcome in the socialist movement if there is one. We need you in this fight comrade, you’re not alone.
