How Do You Make A Dent?

[Ali.Cat]

Despite the craziness of this idea, the fact is a lot of working class citizens are happy to be "serving the man" - to what extent I can't be sure but there are definately a lot of people out there who think they've got it really good to be working as they are. Perhaps this is because they have been educated on how things could potentially be... or maybe working for the man is better than not working at all... I don't know. But my question is - how do you begin to make a dent into that idea? How do you educate the masses - the people who just don't understand that if they all got together they could have it all? Because honestly, up until this year Communism was just another "ism" to me, I had no idea there were so many people out there who believed in it as strongly as people on this site do. So how do you reach those in the same mind set as I used to be?

Start talking to people that aren't "well off". Help them organize within their community. Help them organize programs that will benefit themselves; the state isn't going to do it for them so they have to take matters into their own hands. Help them realize that this society isn't here to help them and to start supporting themselves while at the same time creating an alternative to the hell that this society offers.

Hmm...I don't exactly think this is true. Talk to most working class people and they have a high disregard/distrust of the government and distaste for their bosses. We just need to foster this idea and direct it in a revolutionary way. :D
