So... what do we do in WW3?
I think its pretty obvious America wants to destroy China and will start WW3 to do it if need be. Tf are we supposed to do. Just try to survive and hope the Chinese win? I wish everyday America had some sort of vanguard party that could lead us through this.
I'm guessing you are asking this from a US perspective.
The Practical Policy of Revolutionary Defeatism
First: Get yourself organised. Action without organisation is either liberalism, anarchism or adventurism. Join the FRSO or the PSL.
Second: your organisation should organise against the war by agitating against the state itself and for peace, but also by hampering the capabilities for continued war, through strikes, protests, road blockages and whatever else is an acceptable method for your organisation.
Third: Survive yourself but also help others survive. Whatever was the US engages in now, there'll be a severe economic impact due to deindustrialization. Your organisation should act to help those most in need, which serves a double function of cementing which side the communists are on (the proletariat) against the interests of the parties with state control.
As a side note, it honestly confuses me how much I need to remind people on a Marxist-Leninist forum that getting organised is the first step. I don't know if this is a cultural US liberal thing of thinking oneself too unique for a movement or too good for a middling party, but that's what it seems like. I'd understand if the complaint was "I don't have time for militancy" but it's usually just "the parties are bad" like a good party is just going to spontaneously manifest itself.
The masses have been divided in the west.
Family links are next to none existant and people are seen as tools to an end.
Individualism made it very easy to make the whole of idea of "organizing" something fringe or hard.
People simply forgot we used to work collaboratively for our own good and welfare and see organizations as a feodal like link, because that's mostly the reality of the westerner.

It's mostly this. We are brought up with individualist propaganda and great man theory bullshit to explain how everything works in our society. Then you get people who feel alienated at the mention of a "society" or "community" cause they think they're special snowflakes that don't fit in with everyone else, when our culture is designed that way.

I wasnt trying to say that i was against organizing with the parties that do exist. I'm just trying to get across that i wish theyd do other things. But i cant say those other things. ok?
Those other parties are fine if your doing the things they do. Which are great. I support doing those things too. Theres a certain thing though thats a bit missing from the equation tho. Some really specific, material action, that i can't say outright.
Well, in that case those other things can't be said outright as answers either.
What can be said is a list of sources, perhaps.

Also check out some circuitry courses online and try to learn how to solder and short-circuit batteries. And join the SRA, maybe budget for a 3D printer.
And finally I recommend reading through David Shub's biography of Simon Ter-Petrosian, for some lessons on what to do, what not to do, and what can go wrong.
However I still advise those other things to be done with some sort of organisation.
I'm actually going to college for engineering so I will definitely have some special skills that could come in handy. I think robots are gonna be a big part of the war thats coming, as both China and the US are heavily investing in them, so gonna learn as much as i can about them.
