with Internet communism you take what you need friend

also keep in mind that the most effective route of mass organizations is first and foremost a grassroots community that discusses the issues that they care about and then tries to change them in an organized way outside of electoral politics

Parents have 3 jobs and can't watch the kids? Set up a childcare coop and get those parents involved

Payday loans sucking up money from the poor? Sponsor a credit union existing or otherwise and get them signed up and the payday loans out of business

You want to have parallel institutions that compete and supplant the legitimacy of our elected "representatives" by solving the problems of neglected communities through direct democratic participation

You can empower people by having them thrust into a responsible position

The energy and stark contrast of a mass organization that actually takes care of its constituents vs stagnant elected neoliberal governments creates momentum to replace worthless politicos because as soon as people see another path and another vision the more they want it

Imo

This is relevant to my interests. I'll have to keep this stuff in mind, didn't know it was possible/legal!
