Personal involvement into politics

[RareGodzilla]

Is anyone here a member of any party or a political movement. Do you think active participation is worthwhile or just a waste of time? 

 

[gettoefl]

when not irredeemably naive, politicians have a deep inferiority complex ... they foist themselves onto an unsuspecting public and then assert only they can make a difference and leave a lasting legacy

the only worthwhile change is on oneself and after that person to person

just my two cents

[KingCrimson]

Of course it can be worthwhile if you are the type of person for it. We need high consciousness politicians with integrity and intelligence. You could get in touch with the local organization of whatever party you would want to run for and see if the type of work they do is something that would be interesting to you.

Nothing is a waste of time, but it will likely not manifest in anyway you would desire it to. The mechanism of politics is inherently divisive. Third parties may seem hopeful, but quickly fall into the same grids that have corrupted their would be opponents. A more holistic solution, would be to either unite all the parties or dissolve all the parties. Either way, you would be ridiculed for taking the side of the enemy or of regression.

That said, it is always the case, that some kind of progress will occur either way. So if you have no desire to create something new, and would just find yourself becoming idle. Then your involvement could accelerate either progress of policy or progress of consciousness.
