    1. gather as many people who think this way as possible
    2. help each other build supply and communication away from centralization
    3. take part in as many nonviolent protests as possible
    4. call to strikes on fashist companies
    5. organize across borders
    6. read the popular literature (CIA resistance handbook for germany, anarchist cookbook, etc)

    I cant say what will happen when all those points have been followed by a lot of people. Either, the situation will improve or more and more people must be gathered.

    The US is in a shitty situation and there is no fast way out. It has been long coming and everyone who could have participated in demonstrations but didnt has to admit fault.

    Now there comes the long road to redemption. Buckle up and start marching. The worst thing to do now is nothing or saying it wont work. Thats how we all got here.

      Yeah, maybe. The issue is that none of that (except #4) has anything to do with constraining or controlling centralized power. It’s not like it goes away if you’re not looking at it.

      IDK, maybe what you’re talking about is just the precursor to setting up the better way, establishing some kind of unification that can fight back once it’s grown enough and be a decent place to live in the meantime. It could make sense.

        I agree. All those things are only part of the way.

        I just read this very interesting but cruelly detailed article about how we got here. Its important for people to break this down for those with lower reading comprehension.

        In any case, the us is now an autocracy in the making and reversing that will take hell of a lot of effort. Only after that can the methods that installed this be disabled because it needs broader systemic change.

        Of course violent revolution would be an option but I think it should be a last resort.
