So Landlords are united and fighting to get us homeless Lets organize against them !

If aiming public protection need to be qualified in psychology, social or medical carrying, why still use cops ? Qualification is a thing, but it is not anything. People are structured by their workplace. Even someone with a Phd in Psychology joining the police wouldn't be a "good cops". He will still have guns, the right to use violence, colonial procedure, and most importantly : we would have chosen to join the cops with the mission to enforce "peace keeping" by force, even if it's imply starvation, homelessness our unemployment.

Here (in France), the most common argument against voting is to not feed the arguments of "Democratic Legitimity" of the elected that was used during direct actions. That was a thing, but 30 years ago. Now, the proletariat mainly do not vote, and even through the workers that does, it is very common to here that it is pointless. So we have won. I am serious : the anarchist propaganda that aim to demonstrate that the election is a fraud is now common in our social class; this not an argument that mobilize workers against direct action.

Is the election still an issue for our mobilization ? Yes, but indirectly : it focus all the discussion and the information a year on five. It is impossible during that time to mobilize a public opinion on anything else. Talks about political parties and if we should vote or not monopolize every political topic from the media to the workplace or with friends.

If voting is pointless, to vote or not should be pointless too. Why add to the election noise in asking to not vote Q I make a deal with commies that ask me to vote : I accept to vote for a left party if they never talk of the election (or if it is very late in che campaign, if their unionize).

Never forget, never forgive

Through our union work, it is very clear that a lot of boss would rather losing money than admit their made mistake. It is more common in small workplace than the biggest one; maybe because this bosses need to stand out from the working class, where the other are more obviously members of the upper class (small bourgeoisie, or under bourgeoisie).

A lot of self-managed experience tried to overcome this weird case of alienation, being more productive than the current state of industry at that time. For example, the cooperative mouvement in agriculture, mutualisation lands and engine where directly inspired by revolutionary mouvement in 1936 spain or even 1920 USSR. In the end, it has been totally incoporated in capitalism in many countries.

The Agile methodology even claim making teams self-managed; indeed teams organized by themselves could be more productive, but are even more alienated. We have the responsibility of the organization, without any power on our time, mean of production, or why we producing.

In the end, we should asking what productivity mean. Is it producing more money in less time ? Being socially use full ? Or being under control ? It's a political question, that help to understood what your experience is a very common today, as described in "Bullshit job" of David Graeber

I think you need to clarify what you mean by "revolution" As I understand your text, you are speaking about subverting institutions to enforce self-management, and you reject insurrection.

This is a common mistake of what "revolution" usually means in socialist and anarchist text. There, the most common definition is a radical shift of how a social system work. For exemple, the insurrection of 1936 is not what lead to the Spanish Social Revolution. There is 40 years of popular education, strike, general strike before that lead to whole regions to be self-managed (like Aragon and Catalogna). The uprising is an answer to the fascist coup d'État. I suggest the reading of the mail Malatesta about the General strike in Italia that lead to the self-management of whole Northern Italia for one week.

However, a lot of experiences of subversion that succeed have experience strong reaction, and have to defend themselves. If you are interested in the subversion of institution through anarchist organization, I suggest to read about Anarcho-syndicalism and Libertarian municipalism
