This is an important one. Unless you are the kind of post-leftist anarkiddie who thinks one day the proletariat will just do an insurgency and establish communism just like that out of nowhere, you need organization, and for organization you need that which grants power in society, namely money. There are many ways about this, from crowdfunding, to crime, to taking power via parliamentary democracy and using the state's capital, et cetera.

Paypal accounts of small businesses, bitcoin wallet hacking, moonshining (sell to bourgie students), running guns, human trafficking around Trump's wall (for the lulz mostly)

Crowdfunding is the only realistic option (although someone did bring drugs up) and I've been trying to figure out a system to make it properly work.

Of course, no one is just going to throw money to some random left-wing org. We need to be relatively well-known, and we need specific projects, events and enterprises so that people feel like they're giving money to something concrete instead of a nebulous organization that will use it God knows how.

I thought about things like Chapo Trap House and how they're already relatively well-off with something like 15k/month, so I thought about projects in that direction (podcasts, youtube channels and shit like that have always been on the agenda anyway) but then there are two questions: a) how to make them popular and b) if they manage to become popular, why would the people doing it still send the money to the organization? For example, if five us made a Podcast and that Podcast became popular and got like 10k a month, these five would probably want most (if not all) of the money for themselves, and I think that's completely fair, but sends us back to stage one.

Yes. The biggest problem out there.

Does anyone have any skills? And I would recommend avoiding crime, unless you really know what you are doing. Even then it's better to think twice. Basis does influence superstructure.

Either way: what's your raison d'etre? Why didn't you join someone else?

Not only. And I'm quite certain it got blown out of proportion.

Bad idea for several reasons.

Or to cooperate with others.

People should make donations to specific projects, rather than to people who make podcasts, no?

My country's communist party lives off donations

My country's anarkiddies that run squats usually also use donations, while the illegalist guerillas rob banks
