you're going to have to work the concepts of interdependence and deferred gratification into any successful game plan you want to run with
an obsession with the notion of fairness and trying to get what you want NOW NOW NOW is just going to lead to you getting fooled by conmen who seek out those very traits in a mark
if you don't the patience to win, that's too fucking bad, you can steer things a little bit here and there, but the world isn't working on your timetable
you have to be able to balance working with what's in front of you and how those things effect other things, balance that with making plans for things that haven't happened yet
if you plan well enough, you'll know when the time is right to do what you need to do, and where you need to do it
Great take. Something I've been advocating for is that a lot of the things that we should want to be doing look a lot more like hippy bullshit than actual political organizing. Farmers Markets, Food Coops, etc
it's probably a great idea to do both, one thing supports another, farmers markets and free clinics generate popular support for political movements and create trust for institutions you create along the way
what starts out as a legal fund gets origami'd into the seeds of a legal system, if the muslims and kikes can have their own courts, why can't we?
if you get stopped from making your own police or whatever by a corrupt unfair and unaccountable system, you press the brakes on that and focus on building other things until you can try again, while having all of those other "hippy" organizations to fall back on
a little bit of stafford beer and adolf hitler goes a long way
There a huge need - particularly in the US - for dispute resolution. Courts are all insane and corrupt. Taking a dispute to the public judicial system should be an excommunicable offense. But there needs to be a functioning system to replace it, and that system needs to be centralized in order to work...

3the thing about shell corporations and offshore structuring is that it gives all the partners involved the choice-of-law. They've decided in advance that the legal structure of a given country is the most stable and reliable for dispute resolution and the accounting of profits and debts
dispute resolution needs to be "centralized" only when there's no prior agreement between counterparties/possible adversaries
... and then, of course, the failure of governance here (looks around) has nothing to do with dispute resolution at all. just thuggery and plunder.
dispute resolution is an easy problem to solve. midwit paper pushers can do it, and they do do it.
thuggery, subversion and plunder much less so.
