An Actual Plan to Beat Fascism

“An incredibly practical guide to what you need to do”. Reflecting the spreading sentiment that ‘we’re on our own now’, Shenker-Osorio encourages people to get beyond “writing to their congressman” and instead, focus on “creating social proof locally” with various practical ways of demonstrating “that lots of people in your community feel the way you feel”, for example with signs, hats, t-shirts, or “painting of a barn.” She also notes that the fundamental rupture has not happened for most people yet, and when it does, there will be “extraordinary possibility”, but “we have to stop thinking that tinkering at the edges of the old ways that we have done things is going to yield a new result.” The journey beyond autocracy is one of “resistance, refusal and ridicule”, and means building a “strong, active in-yer-face labour community”, because ultimately “the future is made out of the decisions we take collectively.” Also see.
