Direct action tactics.

[Admiral Swagmeister G-Funk]

Let's discuss direct action tactics. What are some good tactics of direct action that small autonomous groups can use with the aim of propagating and spreading messages of anti-capitalism and anti-authoritarianism?

Fly posting seems to be a good way for small groups to spread their propaganda. Occupations also seem like a good method, although these can be difficult for small groups to stage given the large police presence that can be called to these actions.

What are some other, more creative methods? Highstreet stalls are boring and usually end up in arguments with reactionaries, or pointless discussions with people that end with the person you're talking to coming to some kind of xenophobic conclusion (in my experience :blushing:). What other good ways are there to spread propaganda and rhetoric around an area in these times, where potentially radical scenarios are dominated by reformists and pro-Labour union bosses?

A request: given the section I have posted this in, can we merely keep this to a discussion about direct action and propaganda methods rather than a discussion on whether one agrees with direct action or not? This thread is for people that recognize the benefits of direct action and that is the point of discussion.

Engaging in working class struggles, union efforts, competently introducing their peers/comrades to radical politics.

I like occupation of space.

Being involved in working class actions/struggle/union efforts in your area/field etc..
