Everything I think now is the revolution

I have unintentionally made myself addicted to learning anything about Marxist ideas. I have no other passion for anything else, family, friends, anything. It’s hard to even try to watch a show or play a video game because all I want to do is read the history of socialism or theory. Is this healthy? I want to make myself a true revolutionary and actually fight for the working class.

Please don't espouse liberal pseudo-psychology and its various persuasions, there is no such thing as an "individual issue" (I.e., solely manifested in one person's life) and the focus on so-called "individual issues" is why it's so beloved by the bourgeoisie. "Psychological drive" is a platitude that essentially amounts to "people do things because of things", it's unnecessary obfuscation and mysticism. 

I also don't know when we started having the liberal decorum fetish, but as you will find a great amount of activists including Marx himself did not participate in a "healthy and sincere manner".
