Do you know your neighbors? Start there.

More direction or detail would be appreciated.

Not a lot to add, but it was a theme back on the subreddit that if you live in a neoliberal hellscape, just knowing your neighbors is praxis in itself. Sorry if they're chuds, depends a lot on where you live.

Part of this is that you know the imperial core is in for some hard times, which means that you're in for some hard times along with it. Maybe that's for the greater good, sure, but it still will probably suck. If you're reading this, it's extremely likely that you are the most capable leader of your community, so I hope everyone here is giving it a shot. Maybe you're the leader of like your apartment hallway, or maybe you're mayor idk, but it's too dangerous to be entirely on your own out here. If anything, do step 1.

This whole thing assumes you live within the city limits of somewhere and falls secondary to doing work in an actual org. Ideal to do this in addition to an org, and maybe you can't or won't join an org, whatever, here's another thing:

Steps:

  • Introduce yourself to people, especially if you live directly adjacent to people.
  • Be pleasant and apolitical in your conversations, strive for harmony. If they have a trump flag or bumper sticker just leave them out of this whole thing.
  • Find an issue in you community to work on and advocate for. It can be a traffic issue, easy enough to find unless you live in Amsterdam or Tokyo or something. Could be something else.
  • Attend meetings for your neighborhood association, hoa,and/or your city council. Don't give that shit up to the chuds, and if they're liberals, they need guidance.
  • Find out about orgs in your community. Chuds, libs, progressives, whoever, if you aren't going to join one of them (or maybe you are ) why wouldn't you know this about where you live? We sit here and yap about material nature of the core of global geopolitics, we should apply that same thinking to our front doorstep.
  • when shit gets tough, the people located physically close to you are going to matter the most. Even if shit never goes apocalyptic it's still valuable to know them. Being involved in your community makes a little something good here or there possible while everywhere else is hellworld.

Get your whole town or neighborhood together on an elaborate scheme to create the most perfect US hundred dollar bill forgeries in history. Think thousands of people working together with the secrecy of the Manhattan Project. Heavily arm your entire town. Get the cops in on the action. Hell, have them help enforce secrecy. If you're caught, the feds won't actually want to arrest anyone, as they don't want to have a bloodbath on their hands. They'll let everyone off with a slap on the wrist if you agree to simply stop printing money, and for the ring leaders to confess to minor crimes without jail sentences.

Basically found a city of forgers. Make the cost of stopping you so monumentally high that you'll tie the feds hands even if you are caught. Enrich each other collectively while undermining the federal government financially. Feel free to also engage in other forms of forgery and intellectual property violations as well. Sell pirated expensive medications for dirt cheap prices to people all over your region.
