    At the ballot box, there are 2 options, and there’s no reason you can’t combine grounded electoralism with radical grassroots praxis like Unionization and setting up networks of Mutual Aid, a la Food Not Bombs.

    That’s what I advocate for, actually. Focusing on the grassroots for positive change, while defensively voting in federal elections.

      Sure but a lot of these are infiltrated and dismantled by the Dems/Reps as they are a threat to the states monopoly of authority.

      Black Panthers, MLK, BLM. They are all hollowed out one way or another until they cease to exist.

        Just because it’s difficult, doesn’t mean it isn’t worth doing, nor does it mean there are better ways.
