the ability/practise of shifting plans, using alternate routes, switching methods, take a different approach

“inventive employment of possibilities within strategic circumstances” (Highmore, 2002, p.159)

tactics as anti-reactionary forms of disruption tactics for creation, production, for the long-term tactics as alternative perspective, alternative dimension

everyday practises of self-actualisation and self-transcendence collective action through habits and healing and learning and sharing and building resistive action as bottom-up dismantling

alternative systems

our time and energy is limited; face the way you want to go

Mentions

“To oppose something is to maintain it. They say here “all roads to Mishnory”. To be sure, if you turn back on Mishnory and walk away from it, you are still on the Mishnory road. To oppose vulgarity is inevitable to be vulgar. You must go somewhere else; you must have another goal; then you walk a different road.” - The Left Hand of Darkness, Ursula Le Guin

why ‘alternative systems’
- revolt vs reform
- things that must change slowly
- things we’re all tasked with upholding
- things that we’re doomed to repeat
- discussion of strategy vs tactics
- bottom up top down convergence
gift economies in theory and practice
- public conveniences
- community-owned infrastructure
- non-hierarchical organisations
- abolition (alternatives to policing and justice system)
symbiosis of theory and practise

decentralisation
etc

tactical resistance

Mentions

“It refuses to be associated with “liberatory,” “progressive,” or “heroic” actions against the strategic. Nor is it an attempt to completely withdraw and stay allegedly unaffected by it.” ⤴️
“the tactical might be aligned with the notion of resistance, understood not as an intensification of an effort to counteract, but as a voluntary limitation of commitment to directly combat the hegemonic force, and a subsequent redirection of effort, energy, and passion toward something else” ⤴️
