This is a genuine question I've been asking myself for a while now, and I would love to read your takes on it. I feel like big corps have too much control over the general population and tools at their disposal that are near impossible to combat from my perspective, like the media for example.

I will say that I am very little educated on the matter and have just recently began to more conciously think about the whole situation. Would love to see other people's take and maybe some reading recommendations on the topic if you have any!

Start local. Check the local orgs (DSA, food not bombs, etc) and see if they're doing any real organizing (instead of endless pointless meetings and recruiting at other orgs' protests, like CPUSA). If so, join and see if there are useful ways to resist.

If not, or in addition, form a tenants union, a library of things, a mutual aid, or a group of neighbors to resist ICE. Start a reading group with friends and neighbors.

It will take a mass movement to really combat capitalism. The skills of mutual aid and solidarity will be absolutely key.
