I am certainly afraid of the contingencies of Project 2025. But that doesn't mean I'm going to give up everything I've been working toward.
For several years already it has been part of my strategy to not hitch my hopes to state power. So now with the prospect of state power being outright hostile, that doesn't change much. Acquire spaces, encounter working-class people, bring as many of them as possible on board as partisans. Accrue the ability to act cohesively and decisively, while minimizing exposure and traceability. Develop an economic base of workers' cooperatives, that serves to provide comrades with a means of survival and also a deterrent for any direct action taken against us, because they'd be hurting their own national (and especially regional) economy. On the far horizon, construct a culture and dual power that can completely break from the surrounding state and culture if it needs to.
Yes! I'm right there with you. Working hard on local projects to this effect: cooperatives, mutual aid networks, radical action groups, etc.
I wish I could get further with unionizing my workplace (IWW style). THAT is my point of serious frustration at the moment. But hopefully helping comrades do better in theirs through training, emotional support, etc. is enough for now.
