Ok, the election is over. Let's organize a third party.
How do we organize? What do we do first?
Anyone else thinking about this?

It sounds like you’ve got the right spirit but are likely treading a path that’s already been tried by a lot of people rather unsuccessfully. I would second @FunkyStuff@hexbear.net’s recommendation of reading State and Revolution or Blackshirts and Reds.
We don’t recommend this stuff to be elitist or condescending or to gatekeep. We recommend it because people have tried the obvious solutions for hundreds of years at this point and we can learn from their failures and successes. There is no worthwhile theory without action, but there is also no worthwhile action without theory.
Can I just throw in If We Burn as a very recent example of what happens without the work done in those other texts? You can see it as a "how not to do it" manual in many ways.
What's that about?
It’s about failed progressive revolutions (that turned into color revolutions) of the past decade, mainly due to poor and spontaneous organizing. It’s the same author as Jakarta Method and I really recommend it
