    The political system is completely fucked. Going grassroots with direct action is currently the best way to both resist, and build horizontal decentralized power that isn’t prone to corruption.

    1. find local communities and get involved to make connections
    2. We can effect things drastically with a general strike. This targets the establishment’s income streams, and can bring a fascist government to its knees if done on a large enough scale.
    3. Contact a union and attempt to unionize your workplace so that the general strike is even more effective (plus, ya know, better pay and working conditions as a bonus!)

    This method would not only work in the US, but anywhere in the world.

    Union Suggestions:

    1. Continuing to participate in publicly visible resistance demonstrations like 50501 (the next one is July 17th) to encourage others to stand up with you and prove to that there are millions of others who will join them in the fight. A large part of Nazi Germany’s success in taking over the country was a lack of massive public demonstrations against the new regime, making people feel helpless and afraid to take a stand.

    If we put in the work, we can resist this and we can win. Look at how effective these methods were when used in Chile in 2019.. If we completely reject the political system and rebel on a mass scale, there is NOTHING they can do to stop us.

      At this point if Nazis come to my door I’ll shoot them. Otherwise I’m not going to join up with morons it took even longer than where we’re at right now to figure it out. They can fight the battle with their fellow stupids that let it get as far as it does.
