Alternatively, how do I move myself towards other people who already agree with me to do this, instead of having to try to convince people who already don't really care for my company that my ideas are right? And who do I go to, to help me do that?

I think this is it. The people who're already in shits creek are too exhausted and alienated from each other and their communities to organize. Other members of the working class who are sympathetic to leftist views but don't have it quite so bad yet probably see themselves as having too much left to lose by agitating.
As more and more people fall from the second group into the first group, I think eventually alienation from their communities will decrease since most people will be in the same boat and solidarity can build. Once a sort of critical mass builds, things will get interesting.
In the meantime it's extremely important that those who can organize do so. When the time comes that material conditions have decayed enough that most people are willing to do something other than vote about it, those aforementioned organizations will need to be there strong enough to guide them toward socialism and away from fascism.
