We are asking for help to spread a message.

This message is for people who know something in our society isn’t working — and are ready to help build something better.

For people who are done waiting and ready to take part in meaningful change.

For people who can see the cracks in the system and want to do something that actually matters.

Is any of this happening to you?

  • You work, but still worry about food, housing, or healthcare

  • Car trouble or no ride could cost you your job

  • Food stress: not enough, poor quality, or constant worry

  • Health problems, anxiety, or depression made worse by stress

  • Work is hurting your body: injury, burnout, exhaustion

  • No clear path forward: school, training, or better work feel out of reach

  • Debt piling up: rent, utilities, medical bills, car costs, school

  • You work overtime just to stay afloat

  • One emergency could unravel everything

These are known failures of a capitalist economy

These pressures are structural. Millions of working people are navigating the same instability every day.

If even one of these feels familiar, you are not alone — and the problem is not personal failure.

The good news is that people everywhere are already building practical alternatives.

Exit From Capitalism

A 4-Step Strategy

This is a plan that everyone fits into.

It does not require abandoning your work, your community, or your responsibilities.

It asks only for aligning the efforts that already exist into a shared direction.

When these efforts connect, they become a pathway forward.

Change does not begin with one dramatic act. It begins when many efforts move in the same direction.

Raise Awareness – shaping public understanding, building shared vision, and sparking collective imagination.

  • Have conversations in your community (in the grocery store line for example) about the “state of the times”

  • Comment on how our economy is run in a way that is hurting most of us.

  • Raise the question of how we can change this.

  • Introduce this plan.

Build Parallel Systems

  • Start or join neighborhood mutual aid groups

  • Introduce the mutual aid team to all residents in their neighborhood

  • Determine what needs the neighborhood has and create plans to meet the needs

  • Increase the mutual aid team capacity (find ways to meet more complex needs

  • Identify critical trades and fold them into mutual aid capacity

Mass Refusal –

  • coordinated work slowdown and strikes

  • debt and rent strikes - if no one pays their rent or mortgage, the banks, developers and landlords will no longer have control. No money, no power.

  • coordinated disruption and bottlenecking - these will begin destabilizing the capitalist market making strikes more effective.

  • Product liberation - reclaiming goods and production for public use. This is done by mutual aid teams who restore products to neighborhood depots.

  • Supply line liberation - Sending products from point of production to neighborhood depots instead of stores.

Critical Infrastructure Co-opting – transferring control of critical infrastructure (fuel, communication, mass transportation, utilities, hospitals, etc) to cooperative management.

Critical infrastructures:

  • communication/internet

  • Utilities

  • Fuel

  • Transportation

  • Technology

  • legal system/government

  • Education

Shelter in Place Day – the turning point when society pauses and reorganizes locally. Remember flash mobs? At this time a new economy is in full operation. Tentatively July 4th, 2030.


Capitalism is surviving because resistance is scattered and mistimed.

  • protests are reactive and short-lived

  • strikes happen in isolation

  • mutual aid workers burns out

  • movements and activists talk past each other

WHY THIS MOMENT MATTERS

For the first time in history information can spread globally in minutes. The internet — email and social media — enables communication and coordination in a way never before seen in human history. What’s missing is alignment and timing.

Remember chain letters?

When each person sends this to five others, the message could go global in a matter of days.
