I'm not sure I entirely have an answer either.
I think the first step is figuring out what we want to achieve and what needs to be done to achieve it.
I don't think violent rebellion is the answer at this point. Too many people would die, and historically those end up with the same people in charge after as before.
What I do think is needed is to start insulating our communities from the effects of the Capitalist system and the government in general.
