My guess from the question an expectation of some formal group. Such groups exist. Better yet is prefiguration.

Build community in your neighborhood by getting to know your neighbors and contributing your skills to meet common goals. People, being social animals, work together to meet their needs. That is resistance.

Look out for your neighborhoods safety. Some ideas for doing that include: securing a water source, learning to raise food, learning basic repair of equipment, working on cardio, learning grappling/striking or joining a gun club. Be a neighbor with skills.

Lastly, never trust an organization with a heirarchy of leaders. Said leaders will eventually need to lynched. Joining the Marxist-Leninist book club is about as productive as Bible study.

That's the cool part... There is no "resistance" ...that's just something made up to profit off terrorizing people.

Get into non-dual spirituality. Zen Buddhism is a good start. Stop thinking you can win the cycle of suffering by spinning the wheel a little differently.

Marxist nonsense will succumb to the exact same human frailties as capitalism. Greed, tribalism. It's the same thing, they just demonize a different group of people and thought. They're still creating a division and separation. No system of thought that's not grounded in what can be said to be inarguably TRUE is free from tyranny - the only way out is to release your attachment to anything that could be used to control you, to force you to act unlike you truly feel called to act.

Materialism is the ultimate means of oppression. And it's something you've been conditioned to believe in since birth. Socialists, communists etc. still rely on materialism to drive their ideology and somehow think they're better because they make nice noises about equality. Childish. At least capitalism is logically consistent with it.

Unless you are willing to take a really fucking hard look at your core beliefs about the nature of reality, you will not change anything. You're just giving the leash of materialism around your neck to a different master.

It's simple. As soon as you see any Democrat that might beat a Republican, look up something they said one time that will make others angry. Try to make it something that will make it look like you're taking the moral high ground and allow no room for nuance or common sense. Keep as many people from voting as possible so that the most fascist candidate wins.

That's how .ml got more Gazan children to starve to death than have to! Err, I mean stopped Israel by helping Trump get elected. Mission accomplished!
