Stop waiting for the revolution

The revolution is not going to happen. Face it, there are hard truths that you need to hear if you still believe to "the big evening" or "the big revolution"

Some people, including those in your target group (working class) just don't give a shit about the things that matters in your opinion
Climate change is already too far
You cannot change the world, stop being that pretentious
If you wait, nothing happens

It's time to take action, one of the reasons I am anarchist is because I want to actually start doing those things, I want to build the world. I don't want to wait for the utopia to arrive by some magic. I want to begin my journey of anarchy, a journey of trying to avoid authority, being compassionate, helping others, making others and myself more free.

This can be a different process for everyone, mine are involving low-tech, open-source and sharing stuff online. Yours might be very different but what matters is just to do something. Because at the end of the day, your ACTIONS have impact, not your ideas.

Anarchy (and others) has a fascinating legacy, culture and noble ideas. But we need to not be stuck in them, we need to act, to do stuff, make, share, experiment and live. The end goal doesn't matter, we have to stop overthinking "utopias" and ideals, only the present moment, only our present world matters. Stop talking in future tense, start talking in present tense.

Stop propaganda, the best type of propaganda is action; stop protests, build stuff until your stuff become a protest as a side effect, be compassionate; be happy and free.

Thanks for reading.
