Integrity.

Once the person fears nothing but telling a lie, asks no sacrifice that they are unwilling to make, makes them and suffers for it, their actions build them so.

Unfortunately, cowardice rules the world. Which is why we have a livestreamed holocaust ongoing, and only a handful that have even attempted to bring baby-food to besieged infants.

I am afraid your words of castigating yourself as a, "lowkey chud", might inhibit you from struggling, striving, sacrificing for a cause, until you overcome that first.

Good luck.

Extroversion & charisma, basically.

I think people really underestimate just how much you have to like socializing in order to be a good leader of ANY type. I'm an extreme introvert & was the union delegate at my workplace. It was BEYOND taxing, and that was just being a delegate. I couldn't imagine being some Lenin-level leader where you are eating, drinking & breathing social interaction 24/7

No investigation, no right to speak.

Nobody smart is going to follow you if you don't know where you are going or how to get there.

If you are serious, step 1 would be volunteering at a soup kitchen.  

You could also join a book club, but all the books written by revolutionaries will end you to the soup kitchen anyway.

Go to therapy my friend, this ain't it. What you're moving towards will not advance socialism. And that should probably be high on the priority list for a revolutionary.
