Government. Media. Military.
Control 2 of the 3 and you win.
Currently, no side has control over any of the 3.
Previously, they had media, but that has changed partly thanks to the massive Covid lie.
We used to have the military; now, it is half-woke.
Relentlessly attacking NGOs and calling for their ban would move us forward in all of those areas.
As would removing dual citizens and foreigners from government.
And being anti-censorship advocates.
And ending the Fed.
Immigration is the most harmful to us in all of those areas.
Censorship is second most harmful.
Lawfare tactics, third.
Financial fuckery, fourth.
The highest value targets are NGOs and immigration.
Supporting/building alternative infrastructure is extremely important.
Organizational/funding methods should also be a priority.
I think marxism is a religion, heck I’m typing this in word and marxism auto capitalizes and shows as a spelling error if I don’t capitalize it. Just because marxism will fail once it’s a government, doesn’t mean we will automatically win. How many times has it happened over the course of the 20th century alone? It’s failed every time it’s been tried, and that hasn’t caused it to disappear. Plus they’ll still be in control of all the institutions that will be in charge of rebuilding. Look at how they’re salivating for a “sustainable” future based around a “degrowth” economy. They are ready for the collapse, because causing a collapse is their strategic plan.
I don’t think ideology will be abandoned. I’m defining ideology as a system of shared beliefs about the world that influence how you see the world. I think it’s essentially tribalism which is a defining characteristic of people forming groups to stand against other groups. Stories are how knowledge is passed on amongst humans. Ideologies are stories that groups of humans tell to other members of their group about the world and other groups.
I understand your central point of not playing the marxists game. And while true, it’s also impossible because that’s the game they are playing.
If we were in a room together I’m sure you’d consider the idea of a knife fight to settle our differences a terrible idea and avoid it. But if I pulled out a knife and came at you, well you’re in a knife fight whether you want to be or not. I’ve made the choice for you by taking yours away.
The smartest guy you’ve never heard of:

His art and history/politics stuff is here:

I almost fell down into this rabbit hole early last year. I’m admittedly too poor of a mathematician to begin to understand what he writes about calculus and physics. It’s all far too “woo woo” for me. I can’t say he’s wrong; I just don’t know.
His genealogical “research” is totally devoid of any bullshit test. He has no understanding of the reality that in many cases any kind of cultural identity is utterly lost within maybe two generations if immigration is involved and the mother tongue is not passed to the next generations. When he claimed that Al Capone and Bruce Springsteen were somehow secret Jewish nobility I checked out. (Although that’s not the first time I’ve heard someone put The Boss in the tribe.)
That being said, I’m pretty sure he could prove you were a major titled landowner in France, Rip, if you gave him about ten minutes. Get drunk and have fun.
He’s an incredible painter. Beautiful work.
MM is more like an experience you occasionally binge on when you're in the mood, but here's a pretty good example: The Battle of France
There's no doubt he's highly intelligent, and also a very skilled artist and oil painter. Personally, I like him best when he's talking about fake photos and visual evidence--this for example: More WWII Fakes. I think this is the niche he's probably most useful on.
John F Kennedy's Inaugural Address in which he said, "Ask not what your country can do for you--ask what you can do for your country."

I was 11 years old and it made a deep impression on me and a lot of people. President Eisenhower had been a war hero who was an old
man. Kennedy was young, vibrant, and a war hero. He was far from perfect but did vow to to “splinter the CIA into a thousand pieces and scatter it into the winds” after the disastrous Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba.
This is from In Call to Abolish CIA, Sanders Followed JFK's Cue
Peter Kornbluh points out in his book Bay of Pigs Declassified that the State Department at that same time proposed the CIA be stripped of its covert action capacity and renamed. However, the CIA escaped any serious repercussions — partly because, as Kornbluh explains, the CIA’s then-director, John McCone, made sure that most of the copies of a damning report on the Bay of Pigs by the agency’s own inspector general were literally burned.
Then in 1963, after Kennedy’s assassination, Harry Truman wrote a newspaper column explaining that “I never had any thought that when I set up the CIA that it would be injected into peacetime cloak and dagger operations. … I, therefore, would like to see the CIA be restored to its original assignment as the intelligence arm of the president … and that its operational duties be terminated or properly used elsewhere.”
You have to sign up with the Indianopolis Star to read the editorial. I tried to access other links from the Intercept article but couldn't. I think the CIA was involved with the killing of President Kennedy. It hasn't been proven but why is the CIA still holding on to thousands of documents that are 60 years old from the Warren Commission Report on the Kennedy assassination.
