Politics is fun.
But, ultimately, Stalin is correct that most discussion here is futile.
If you can influence national politics, by all means do so.
But if you can't (and most of us can't), then you must turn towards what you can affect.
Local politics is one of the best of the many ways to make change, especially for the rural or small town dwellers among us.
Your DA or county sheriff, if they aren't friendly towards you, can have a dramatic effect on your life.
And local politics is mostly the domain of the retired or the activist; if you are young and charismatic, you can have an outsized effect
Do expect to get pushback from Reagan republicans; simply deceive then about your intentions, and set yourself up to take over when they die
Remember, you don't want to make waves.
You don't want your county on national television, you don't want reporters crawling around looking for things to screech about.
You want to quietly take over.
No, I'm not suggesting a "March through the institutions"
Frankly, most of the large institutions would self immolate before they allowed any course correction.
But the small ones, there is no reason why they can't be taken over quietly.
This extends past local politics, of course.
If you work at a corporation, get your friends hired. And work to promote each other. Once one of you reaches a point where hiring decisions are made, then quietly stock it with people like yourself.
Hire people from your church. Find other like minded people, and hire their friends.
Again, never make waves. Publicity does you no favors.
Let the high profile celebrities and personalities draw all the ire, and work subtly in the background towards your goals.
Identify which businesses in your area are owned by people friendly to you. Only use them, and let them subtly know why.
Work to exclude outsiders. Work to drive out businesses that aren't owned by your people.
There is no reason your area should not be controlled by your people.
Abandon the idea of "free market principles". If a business wants to move into the area and they won't play ball, don't let them.
If you have access to local bureaucracy, it's very easy to tie someone up in knots and make it clear that it's not worth while to be there
And you might say "That just sounds like corruption"
Yes. It does sound like that, because that's exactly what it is.
Why should someone other than your people benefit from your people ?
Every day, you see the Legions of activists and lumpenprole who eat out of the public trough, at your expense.
Unlike them, the RW still do real work. So why should we not have the best of both worlds.
Things will actually get done, and our people will be paid for doing them
And remember to be humble and quiet.
The idea is not to publicly flip the bird to the system.
The idea is to quietly divert it, so that where you live becomes a better place to live.
No "non-binding resolutions against xxxxxxxx"
No "major protests over (insert social cause)"
You have a problem? Quietly tie it up in bureaucracy and let it rot
You have an activist teacher in a school? Quietly have them let go for cause
If you're searching for that dopamine high of feeling righteous, then you can't be a part of this.
This is slow, boring work. It's a war of paperwork and private discussions over beers.
