It'll take a few more ~~assassinations~~ Luigi-like incidents before any oligarchs start taking us serfs seriously.
Adventurism doesn't generally bring about change, it just justifies further repressions. Organizing is what brings change and enables actual conquest of political power.
How do you organise when the billionaires own the media and the social media platforms? Further, if you're in the US, how do you organise when the sitting pedophile declares anti-fascism as terrorism and you can be locked up or killed for the association?
Walk around your neighbourhood inviting strangers to a Signal chat?
For starters, begin with adopting good OPSEC principles. Privacy is a valuable shield.
Secondly, learn from successful revolutionaries. I made a basic Marxist-Leninist reading list as a helpful introduction, study how revolutionary parties work and function.
Finally, get organized. Join a party like the Party for Socialism and Liberation. Some of your org work may in fact involve walking around your neighborhood and inviting strangers to chats! The primary focus at the present moment is to build a revolutionary party capable of directing the working classes in the case of crisis.
