the problems that will arise when the factors and means of production are shut down is primary to long term success.

Things are not yet to the point where enough of the people will say "Enough already!" and consent to having their comfort systems are disrupted by extreme political and economic change. But as fascism progresses unchecked, things will eventually get to that point. If we are adequately prepared when "Bastille Day" comes, instead of angry mobs breaking out the guillotines, we can take over the factors and means of production and simply replace the 1% as the administrators of the systems necessary for group survival.

It's going to take a lot of long term effort and imagination to cover all the bases, but having a people's alternative organization ready to take over and keep things running, and running in a positive, constructive direction will be critical to keeping the 1% from regaining control.

There are a few things we know for sure about the 1%: they are insatiable, destructive, ruthless, and conscienceless. They won't take being usurped well.

Unfortunately, I am strapped for time and can't post much this week but thanks for your fine OP, and saying that my post was like a post from 2003, that's a big compliment in my world.
