I want other young people to understand that if the extent of your radical action is posting “eat the rich!” on social media and waiting for somebody to tell you a revolution has started, nothing will change and you’ll get arrested in the Third Red Scare and that’ll be it

What’s the plan?

Join a local trade union and the IWW. Join or start a local tenant’s union. Volunteer with Food Not Bombs and do other mutual aid in your community. Support your local solidarity economy and maker community. Build, fix, and grow stuff. Use free, open-source software and stop letting companies sell your data. Pirate stuff. Break unjust laws. Attend local actions

And most importantly, join radical groups in your area. Strength is found in numbers and none of us can change the world alone. If you need help finding your local movement, DM me and I’ll look around for you so you can start getting stuff done

If you’re younger and can’t join unions or go to protests, you can still do some of the above.

Like as stated above for example, use open source software. Switch from chrome to firefox. Read the terms and conditions.

Shop at antique/thrift/pawn stores and stop buying everything new.

Barter. Exchange services, items, or skills with your peers. Are you 16 and able to drive your friends around? Carpool, and ask that your friends pay you back with food sometime, or teach you a skill that they have. Maybe that band kid is really good at knitting. Learn how to do that.

Never think that your contribution is useless. An ocean is just a multitude of drops.

Younger people can absolutely start or be a part of unions. They are called Student Unions and you can start one at your school. A student union will need popular support, so start out by talking to other students, addressing their needs, putting on social events, clothing drives, mutual aid networks and homework clubs. Make sure all the necessary resources reach the poorest students in your school, and remember to listen to them about class/poverty experiences in the exact same way you would listen about race or gender – open minded, don’t speak over their experiences, and don’t act like you know what’s best for them.

Examples of Argyria, a condition where the skin becomes discoloured due to excessive exposure to the chemical compound, silver.

Most people affected by the condition live healthy lives with no implications. The bottom image is of Paul Karason, an American man who treated himself with a homemade silver-infused tonic in an attempt to treat his dermatitis, acid reflux, and a range of other health problems. After his skin turned silver, he became affectionately known as ‘Papa Smurf’.
