Tips to make friends without spending money are welcome. I’ve spent years in a city without making friends.

Luckily even though I’m a minority in America, I’m not a minority in my city. :) It’s filled with people of my ethnicity. So I have more opportunities to be closer with my people, and I want do the right things to get there.

Btw they don’t have to be my ethnicity. Just wanna make friends to begin with. My dream is to meet cool communists around here. It’s a minority city, and I figure I can’t be the only one.

    I’ll second the volunteering idea. It’s easier to make friends with folks you see often, such as at work or school. That frequent contact really helps get you over the hump. Volunteer somewhere aligned with your interests, and go to every event you can.

    • food not bombs
    • bike coop
    • museum if you dig old nerds (especially labor, industrial, and maritime museums, often full of commies)

        You want the merchant marine, longshore and fishing kind of maritime museum, not the cool battleship bro maritime museum. I know a few comrades at such museums in the US and Canada, and have seen old crusty guys with commie vibes at many more. There also are chuds and reactionary hippies for whom tall ships and such are just RETVRN cosplay.
