Bernstein started it way back in the day and it has been a steady process of decline ever since. In a short, glib answer to a serious question

A modernised explanation of the ideological aspects of the State and and social super structure. It is an attempt to simplify into modern and approachable language, with modern references, a core component of Marx's analysis of society

5 takeaways and none of them were fish and chips. Won't be shopping there again

Oooh that's awesome you've already got some interest, ka pai e hoa (well done comrade). Flier drops actually do work pretty well if worded well. As long as you don't word it like a Nigerian scam you should be sweet as lol. Not everyone will get in contact, but a few might

We started with an initial block of 8 flats in which one of our members was a resident. There is no party in our country yet, but in my city we have a strong and well developing collective that we are using to build mass organisations among the workers. So we had no party support as such, but it was a collective effort. We have similar issues here where people don't have much interest in discussing money matters, but due to rampant inflation everyone is starting to complain about costs. If you live in an apartment complex that might make it easier to get a start on learning the resources to figure out the exact ownership details of buildings.

Might be a bit of digging for data for a few months first, but hey we're materialists right?

Advice from practice in my own city based on a comrade's efforts at organising tenants. Pick a campaign, rent hikes are a good start. Use municipal information (if possible) to assess how many and which landlords hold properties, in our campaign we used the rates (city taxes) information as declared by landlords. Once you have identified good sites to start with e.g. Buildings with a single landlord, go door knocking and talk to people about the rent hikes and seek their level of anger and willingness to act, ask them about actions they might like to take, suggest some actions - could be staggered rent payments to make an admin nightmare for the landlord, in our country this can incur an extra accounting cost for the landlord and spread over a block of flats can be pricey, or it could be rent strikes. Once you identify some leaders amongst the tenants, organise the actions with them, don't needa use the big C word at this stage of a campaign. After the campaign keep contact with those people, assess what worked and what didn't. Rinse and repeat.

I appreciate that was a bit of a ramble, happy to have a fuller conversation around any specific details that are unclear or lost in the jumble

The problem with America isn't that they're electing idiots, it's that the elected have nothing in common with their electors due to their fundamental class antagonisms.

It's just liberal democracy. Replace it with proletarian democracy and you'll be amazed at how few "idiots" make it through
