We need insurrections and uprisings yes but we also need infrastructure to support those in the streets and in those times in between the big waves when we are resting and licking our wounds.
We can't just be part time activists. We need to create a democratic liberatory culture in all parts of our lives from our workplaces to our relationships to the things we need to do to get away from it all.
We need to struggle on all fronts all of the time if we have any chance of turning this sinking ship of the human race around.
Start a gaming club, walk with comrades, start trying to unionise your workplace, start a co-op. Play football. Paint a picture. Make some beats. Educate yourselves on your history. Learn to cry. Educate those younger than yourself. Ride a bike. Support others in the struggle. Learn to fight. Know your enemy. Tell your friends that you love them. Help someone who is in crisis. Smile at other's in the street. Help someone with their tech woes or maybe just stay in bed and rest.
But whatever you do, do it together. Build infrastructure. Believe in yourself. Believe in others. Believe in a better world. Focus on what you can change.
