If one lives in an imperialist nation- it often feels like the forms of imperialism it spreads throughout the world can't be fought, and sometimes as if we're all complicit in it (and perhaps at times we are), what can be done to act against it and combat it?

cooperate, despite it
unmake your internalised oppressiveness
be in solidarity with the marginalised
even though the consequences can be severe
find friends who are doing the same and make new kinds of beauty with them
others will see the beauty
they won't be able to stop until they've made their own

Educate, agitate, and organize. Educate your fellow workers about the problems with capitalism and imperialism. "Agitate" them, so that they don't become defeatists, or become pacified by the distractions of everyday life. Organize them into a revolutionary party. And finally, when the time is right, lead a revolution to overthrow the government of the bourgeoisie.

Edit: Yep, there it is.

All the above isn't purely tankie shit, Makhno did almost all the same in Gulyai-Pole. Seems like a bit of a dick move to, y'know, not acknowledge the people who fought three empires at the same time, or even include that on one of the few things the entire left usually agrees upon.

Sorry, I was referring specifically to the lifestylist anarchists.

Because you lot have done so much more to fight capitalism than filthy anarchists like me. Oh wait.... No, you just rebranded capitalism and told the people to stfu and take it.

Are you not an Anarchist?

(Also a single revolution led by a party will never happen)
