I'm fed up with doing nothing and I'm wondering if anyone has any tips for me on either stuff I can do or how to start a cooperative communist/anarchist organization.
I already do some small stuff, like graffiti and I already know a group of commies and anarchists that hang out and stuff.

I help run a very small local newspaper where all profits are shared communally. We pay for printing by letting small businesses in the local area advertise in it and we give away the paper for free. Most of our revenue is spent on making it look professional so the money made per person is usually under £10 but as a lot of us are out of work every little helps and really it's not about the money it's fun. Our newspaper is not particularly a communist publication and without my input it probably wouldn't be but it is about alternative culture and contains local news, Art, photography, poetry, reviews and basically anything anyone wants to put in it. We're just starting out really but we hope to expand as readership increases.
You already have a group of people who want to do it so that's the first thing. You should decide if as a group you have a common skill that you could centre your business around. Can you make things? Do you write? Are you good with computers? It really depends on what your skills are but for my group we were all so different we decided to write. Hope this helps.
