What can we do as progressives to organize and defend our values in ways that match the right?
Fascists and the right in general have a way of coming together in solidarity and organizing to fight successfully for their causes in the real world and obviously they are having an effect. We don't have the money they have, that's a given and that limits things, no doubt. But we as leftists, must find ways to organize in ways that match the fascists. Subversion of their goals is our goal. The class and culture war is in full effect and we must not be complacent. "They got the bombs but we got the guillotine." We need organizing principles and ways to defend the marginalized in the real world. Ideas or advice for people looking to support progressive causes?
