Literally pay an effective activist 60k a year to do whatever they think is important.

Buy a house, put it in a land trust, lease it out on a 99 year lease well below market.

Bankroll an effective activist group.

Aet up a mutual insurance plan that covers tickets, bail, loss of housing, loss of job, so that comrades can organize with a safety net.

Establish a permaculture farm that gives the food to a free groceries program run by comrades.

Create a library for things other than books: tools, seeds, mills, lathes, 3d printers, bikes, camping gear, meeting space

:this: We can’t quite do a communism without wiping away the current system, we probably won’t be the ones to do that it’s going to happen though in one form or another and the best thing we can do within the imperial core at least is this, mutual aid and mass line tactics to catch libs as they become alienated as the system itself unravels. If they don’t have anywhere else to turn we will see well off libs, cops and fascist paramilitaries fully merge into a new state that can much more easily supplant the existing one as their goals are more in line than with the people that will be on the receiving end of the resulting violence.

We are desperately in need of demonstrating practical alternatives.

OP can use 10k to 30k as a downpayment, use the rest to float, also avoid expensive houses/expensive areas, if you don’t mind permanent unemployment because no jobs there’s plenty of places with good sub $150k houses.
