Personally, Gaza and his anti-railway workers union action was enough to destroy any credibility he had so far.

Here's my plan, and I'll even tell you without being a smuglord

Abandon electoralism as the primary method of achieving anything, its become blatantly obvious to anyone paying attention that things will not improve under our current system and wasting time trying to get people elected will not help anyone

Next is to establish a network of interconnected mutal aid groups, to provide to the people all that they need and deserve. The government has shown it doesn't care about maintaining any actual infrastructure or protecting the vulnerable which leads to my third point

We need a vanguard, both to protect the people who need it and to punish those who would oppose our work. They would be armed and trained and held to a higher standard than our enemies

With the support network and vanguard in place, we can spread our message and gather support up, it won't be easy but it will be better than sitting on our hands and having a heart attack every four years for the rest of our lives

I was half expecting them to come back with something like "That's unfeasible" or "Good luck fighting the army" or one of the countless other reddit-logo wet farts they always squeeze out
