This is a genuine question I've been asking myself for a while now, and I would love to read your takes on it. I feel like big corps have too much control over the general population and tools at their disposal that are near impossible to combat from my perspective, like the media for example.

I will say that I am very little educated on the matter and have just recently began to more conciously think about the whole situation. Would love to see other people's take and maybe some reading recommendations on the topic if you have any!

Organize and educate yourself. Develop an understanding of Marxist Historical Materialism, especially by reading Lenin and Mao.

The first thing to understand is that there is nothing valuable you can do as an individual to advance Communism. Communism is not an Individualist ideology. The first step is to find or build a local group of like-minded individuals. Once you've done that, you can ask, "What should we do?". There is no substitute for meeting real people in real rooms in real life.
