IG we all jokin on american's
Strange this hasn't been suggested before, but seriously build relationships in your community to bring them closer to class consciousness and revolutionary ideas. Find a small group that you can REALLY REALLY REALLY trust as revolutionaries and do what you can.
Organize housing unions, workers unions, mutual aid, help people enroll in food or health programs that they are eligible for. Spend time in clubs and public areas, reach out to people and become a notable and well liked community member. (If publicity would prevent you from doing certain actions or make it too dangerous then avoid notoriety)Learn any skill someone is willing to teach you. And teach anyone who will listen your skills, and help each other. Find people who are more agreeable first, don't go to the house with the fuckin nazi flag preaching about communism. People who are more likely to act, and more likely to be agreeable are often already acting in events with similar views. Like protests, garden groups, unions, etc.
Make Zines and posters of acute class contradictions in your area. My area has especially bad landlords with no union so I'm working to fix that and show people the issues with landlords owning everything. Repair stuff, wear slogan t-shirts and signs and pick up trash. Let these ideas be seen, as that's one way we are kept suppressed.
You want to make connections with people actually in your area and find other revolutionaries. No matter where you are chances are there's a good dozen who are also looking for someone to organize with. You personally do not need to convince every person in your area, find comrades. If you know some online find out what you can do together, visit each other, help organize, share knowledge, etc.
America suffers from the lack of a unifying leftist party. There are several groups people might be interested in but they've never even heard of. There are people in my area who haven't even heard of the DSA. Often you'll find there's only like one branch of any given leftist group in your state. If the people are already uniting together with leftist ideals, they're more likely to join a state wide or national movement. (If people are already helping each other with food stamps and medical aid, they're more likely to join a DSA push for housing unions in your area etc.)
There is TONS to do comrade, look around. I understand the desire to be told what to do but you truly have the power to unite people with this knowledge.
TBH this should work for a lotta revolutionaries wondering what to do. This is how you build public support for revolution in your area.
Occurs to me this is a buy European board....this is still decent advice for ppl but uh....yeah
