Maybe trying to form a vanguard party but frankly I don’t think that will come to pass in time before the empire collapses.
If you truly think the collapse of the empire is imminent then building an effective and strong communist party is literally the most pressing concern you should have. If the US empire collapses and there is no ideologically and materially sufficient communist party to guide the proletariat, we are all totally fucked. The power vacuum will be left totally in the hands of reactionaries.
I’d say that’s a good idea. Without getting too into the weeds, this is a Marxist comm so I’d say this:
Find how the contradiction between capital and labour is most pointedly expressed in your area. If there are groups working in that sphere who don’t seem totally useless, join them. If not, try to start one. Hopefully you’ll find some people who don’t think that differently to you. People who you can talk to about Marx, and Lenin, and how Marxist theory applies to all of your concrete lives.
But remember that everything is to build power for the proletariat. As I said in another thread, feeding people is a beautiful thing, I’d never say “don’t feed the starving”. But to be an effective communist it has to be married to a political project, otherwise you’re just spinning your wheels.
(This is assuming you don’t have a decent CP in your area, and seeing as we’re talking about the American ecosystem I imagine you don’t)
Yeah sure you can try I just don't see it happening in time and we can still organize adjacent groups that can help prevent people from falling into the hands of said reactionaries.
