If you’re actually doing ANY level of community organization, you’re objectively better than most people on here. At least take that with you.
And next time you do organizing, and you should do it again, learn the right lessons. Target the right people with the right message. Promote in the appropriate places, create the kind of stir, buzz or drama that would get media attention, and so on.
No great activist or anyone who has changed the world had success from start to finish. At least if you’ve done it before, you know how to start it again, and that’s a huge obstacle for most people, just knowing what to do once they get off the couch. Now keep adjusting from there.
Thank you for the encouragement. If we find any success I may start posting about it here soon. We need to create a proof of concept that not only shows how bad capitalism is, but also that a system based on meeting everyone’s needs works better
But a lot of people DO have those things, and just need guidance and support and a way to make their idle energy or money do something good.
This is where being an activist has power. You are basically taking up the mantle of being a manager. You are connecting the right people to the right causes and organizations and direct needs of people to make a difference. If you can get even halfway decent at doing this, you can move mountains.
We will all bitch about this on here. Then I will try yo organize something locally for it and get no support. Its depressing.

Sadly many people don’t have the time money and energy to support a movement.
Most people need support, and don’t have much to give.

people have their voice (and therefore, their vote) to give, though
You’d be surprised at the amount of people that think they are unable to make change.
