there are a few proven options, but anything that impedes their property from working or the economy from spinning. the best part is our work makes it happen. socialists, communists and anarchists did a lot of it in the past and it works. it is important to read theory on how it is done.
closing important highways, impeding workers from getting to work will grind their profits to a halt. greta-style shutdowns and disruption of mining and oil operations. huge organized boycotts work somewhat in very select circumstances. striking and refusing to work and spin the economy. providing but refusing to collect payment for essential services. building systems to reduce our reliance on theirs. among many other creative ways.
be aware though that they will make it violent if they need to to make you stop. you will have to be prepared to defend yourselves from escalating political, rhetorical, economic and of course physical violence.
also be aware some of the political, rhetorical and even economic violence can look like they are trying to help us. they are NOT. this is another reason why theory is important.
