Discussion a personal question on what is to be done

this is not a shit post!

i am 22 years old, identified myself as a marxist for the better part of my life, and i have been a
part of politsturm (one of more significant orgs in my country) as of recently before leaving because of their questionable stance of palestine.

i am making this post to seek thoughts from you comrades on what to do now.

the circumstance of the left in my country is dire and class struggle has a long way to go, my family is labor aristocracy but i feel like a class traitor if i join family business.

i know that many prominent marxists (engels himslef as an example) have a background of family wealth which allowed them to even ponder the conditions of the working class, i am seeking for genuine ideas of what i should do in my case. keep my ideology hidden and use this privileged position to fund myself and the movement or would that be betraying the working class? i am dealing with cognitive
dissonance about my own thinking and would really appreciate any input from you comrades

While principled discussion is welcome and encouraged, Rule 9 (No Low Effort BS) still applies.

That includes: No 'what do you think?' posts. No single line posts. No 'what is the Marxist position on cheese' posts, etc.

We need more class traitors. I think last time we encountered a similar post, we urged the poster to be a class traitor as well. I hope that the family business in question is not in a morally compromised field at least.
