be ready with orgs that can funnel energy at useful targets -- don't get in the way of the anger, just direct it where it will do real damage. build relationships with the people who show up and get as many of them as possible into these orgs, where their passion won't be blunted by brief setbacks. connect impacted communities with real avenues for change -- don't talk down to people. tell them exactly what it will take to make their visions a reality and lay out real paths to achieve their aims. set aside terminally online visions of ideological purity and find ways to meet the demands of the actual people in front of you and allow the continued failure of the system to drive home the necessity for revolution.
that is, build a real coalition for the end of capitalism, and stop larping online, endlessly telling others what they ought to do.

Coopted a lot of the liberals into marching as useful cover for direct action, that sort of thing.
