What can I do to help?

Damn you could probably write a whole ass book on What Is To Be Done

Perhaps even a video on "But What Can We Do?"

Didn't really love that video, since once again it's kinda vague advice. He mentions a few socialist organizations at the end but the whole video basically comes down to "find some local organization and join it".

Eh, that's exactly where it starts though.

Where things go after that depends on where you are, which only your local socialist orgs — and later yourself with enough experience — can figure out.

Well the Lenin dude managed to create an authoritarian regime in the name of the proletariat [yep, I wrote exactly what I meant] by orchestrating and doing the October coup. The revolution happened in February. Don't take my word for it, check it out yourselves. Some input for this research can be found in this 11min video. So, I don't see how taking advises from Lenin for action could lead to anything that's worth doing in practice.

It was kinda fun to watch corpos shit themselves, even briefly. Unfortunately this triggered their narcissistic rage which has been on an endless tear since, but for a brief moment in time the thing they cared about was hurt: their money.

Yea i remember WEF being so scared they wanted to return to post-WW2 demand managed welfare state.

Oh yes, I remember that. It inspired me to re-read The Masque of the Red Death.
