Whenever I see reddit preppers talking about their preparation for when “shit hits the fan”, I can’t help but notice they seem to think they’ll survive on their little homestead either alone or with their nuclear family. They don’t seem too worried about the threat of civilization collapsing, they’re just excited that they’ll get the chance to larp as lords ruling over their lands.

But without any kind of community organization or serious wealth to hire a private militia, aren’t they just as fucked as the rest of us? Like, these people are going to be the very first targets of roving bands of raiders no matter how many tacticool, tricked out AR-15s they own, right?

I dont disagree with you but to challenge what you are describing you would need more than an armed commune of a couple 100 people. We are talking about a large scale revolutionary movement with the goal of overthrowing the ruling class. Which right now seems very far away in the USA. Like sure work towards it. (And im whishing you guys the very best). Im not even saying it cant be done even in the imperal core (im not a doomer) but how to do it best etc. is far outside my area of expertise.

Babysteps. Lately, I’m just trying to get people in leftist spaces to acknowledge the reality of our situation.💁‍♂️
