Great article! And this is also relevant for onlline communications and communities as a complement to for real-world in-person communities:
> "what I do know is that we must build power at the community level and that we must do so with great urgency. Whatever community defenses we must mount on behalf of unhoused and other criminalized people, whatever fascist edicts we must resist, will require us to be organized as we have never been organized before. To defend our lives and to defend the planet, we will need resilient networks of people who are more invested in each other and our collective survival than they are in the systems that would destroy us. We need to build power, block by block, within our schools, in our workplaces and churches, and anywhere else where we can build connections around our shared values and survival. We need tight-knit communities and strong bonds of fellowship. We need to sharpen our skills to address the common problems that tend to rip our movements apart, such as conflict, unprocessed trauma, and a lack of political education. We need to rise above the alienation and individualism that keep us isolated and afraid so that we can find strength in each other."
[Which also ties to your points about offline communications in situations where the internet goes down or domains are removed from DNS.]
