CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS: DOSSIER ON ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE

The Negation editors stand in solidarity with the Palestinian struggle for liberation. We condemn the IDF & its barbarism against Gaza. As communists in the West, we feel obligated to speak out against this oppression, murder, and ethnic cleansing facilitated by our governments.

If the real enemy is resignation, then we must instill a culture of hope and confidence everywhere we organize. Namely, we must make these two attitudes commonplace: 1) Your life isn't that hard. 2) The struggle for a new world is something you can take part in. It isn't going to shame you or exhaust you or abuse you or burn you out or make you fuck up or put you in harm's way. It isn't a job meant only for smart people, or perfect people, or extroverts, or abled people, or people with more privilege than you, or people with more experience of oppression than you. It's your job.

When I say we need to "instill a culture of hope", I don't mean we need to persuade people that these things are already true for them regardless of reality. We need to MAKE them true. This is the direction we should be facing: a culture where, when your comrade tells you their hours are too long or their domestic situation too fucked up to help out right now, you try to use your organizational resources to improve their situation. When a comrade seems to be working way too hard, you step in, learn their duties and take on a few. When a comrade gets frustrated by the style of a reading or action, you take this in good faith as a real challenge to transform it.
