    By building a people powered movement through solidarity, establishing workers co-operatives, industrial unionization, pro-revolutionary social spaces and through direct action.

    Do you have concrete suggestions for what I personally could do? I often read these things online, but it feels like buzzwords and technical terms thrown around in the expectation that they should mean something to the audience, but I’m not sure they do.

    What I mostly do so far is try to sprinkle offhand comments into conversations to (hopefully) sow seeds of class consciousness without actually getting preachy and pushing people away. I don’t know how much that helps.

    Vitally, learn about anarchism, and how it presents a solution to our deeply, fundamentally broken society.

    I’ve had the anarchist FAQ tab open in my browser since forever, but I find it hard to read and work (by design) often leaves me too tired to meaningfully engage with it.

    This circles back into the issue of not knowing what to do: dedicated articles tend to be heavy on quotes, arguments why it’s important and general principles. I don’t need convincing, I need direction.

      Sure, my suggestion would be to join the IWW (Industrial Workers of the World) and get involved locally with them or some other direct action group in your area.

      Hopefully where you live there is already a group of people doing these things and they can help you get more into it.
