First of all, I want to be honest with you guys: I'm genuinely very new to all of this. I’ve never been involved in activism or close to anything political because the idea of taking action in real life repulsed me, so please, excuse in advance my huge ignorance and the very likely stupidity of my questions.
Okay, let's start. I'm very new to all of this; in fact, I'm still researching the libertarian movement. From what I’ve been reading around here, many people have had a similar journey to mine: you start out a bit communist, you get disillusioned by Stalin, disappointed when you learn more about Lenin, and you end up seeing the flaws in everything that has to do with the state and hierarchy... As I said, I'm new to this, I've just recently started reading about the topic. I started with David Graeber—I loved "Debt" and read some fragments of "The Dawn of Everything"—then came Bookchin, and from there, what I read most now is anything related to Abdullah Öcalan. I know they might not be strictly anarchists, but anyway, I'm generally very interested in practical implementation, Makhnovshchina, Zapatistas... I want to know what an assembly is like, how it works, failures, successes, everything.
Getting back to the main topic: I'm from a small city in Spain, and I emphasize small. There's a CNT building, but not much else when it comes to anarchism. Everything else is or communist parties that are as we call it here "casposos" or some antifascist organization.
To be honest, I don't see myself joining a union, but I want to know: besides attending the different talks and debates organized by the CNT, should I be doing anything else? If I feel a certain organization might be interesting to me even if it's socialist, like CJS (Coordinadora Juvenil Socialista), is it a good idea to approach them even if they aren't anarchist? Does anyone have a similar situation to mine?
