    Lol took into account political participation, gives Aotearoa New Zealand full democracy status. Our voter turn out is in the toilet, the select committee process and public submissions are only accessible to the bourgeoisie not the working class.

    We started with an initial block of 8 flats in which one of our members was a resident. There is no party in our country yet, but in my city we have a strong and well developing collective that we are using to build mass organisations among the workers. So we had no party support as such, but it was a collective effort. We have similar issues here where people don't have much interest in discussing money matters, but due to rampant inflation everyone is starting to complain about costs. If you live in an apartment complex that might make it easier to get a start on learning the resources to figure out the exact ownership details of buildings.

    Might be a bit of digging for data for a few months first, but hey we're materialists right?

    Advice from practice in my own city based on a comrade's efforts at organising tenants. Pick a campaign, rent hikes are a good start. Use municipal information (if possible) to assess how many and which landlords hold properties, in our campaign we used the rates (city taxes) information as declared by landlords. Once you have identified good sites to start with e.g. Buildings with a single landlord, go door knocking and talk to people about the rent hikes and seek their level of anger and willingness to act, ask them about actions they might like to take, suggest some actions - could be staggered rent payments to make an admin nightmare for the landlord, in our country this can incur an extra accounting cost for the landlord and spread over a block of flats can be pricey, or it could be rent strikes. Once you identify some leaders amongst the tenants, organise the actions with them, don't needa use the big C word at this stage of a campaign. After the campaign keep contact with those people, assess what worked and what didn't. Rinse and repeat.

    I appreciate that was a bit of a ramble, happy to have a fuller conversation around any specific details that are unclear or lost in the jumble

    The problem with America isn't that they're electing idiots, it's that the elected have nothing in common with their electors due to their fundamental class antagonisms.

    It's just liberal democracy. Replace it with proletarian democracy and you'll be amazed at how few "idiots" make it through

    What independence? We never declared independence from the British Crown. The form of administration changed but there was no formal declaration renouncing our ties to the royal family of England

    Already got. Cute as all hell, but holy moly do I miss sleep. Due to costs we're only having the one at this stage. There isn't really any such thing as "ideal conditions" for a child. As long as you love them, nurture them, and spend quality time with them, then you're an absolute legend of a parent. Plenty of rich people fail as parents, and plenty of struggling proletarians are amazingly successful parents. I didn't have exactly ideal conditions growing up, but I can use that as a lesson in my own parenting and how to interact with and support my own child
