There are myriad mechanisms today available to individuals and communities to themselves supply their necessities that provide the blessings of civilization, and not least power. From wood gas to DIY solar panels printed on recycled PET from used beverage containers with ordinary inkjet printers using graphene inks, storing energy in concrete doped with lamp black using salt water as an electrolyte, there are a wide variety of means that aren't able to be controlled by monopolies.
In every field of industry, such decentralization of the means of production are today the cutting edge of tech advance, and the most advanced tech is the highest productivity tech, outcompeting mechanisms that require centralization and collective labor, monopolies that feed parasitized production to overlords and provide them wealth and power. By adopting decentralized production, individuals and communities avoid that parasitism of their production and retain themselves the wealth they create, simultaneously reducing that gained by overlords. Because table top tech is developing and dispersing across populations exponentially, overlords are becoming increasingly desperate to forcibly impose monopolies and enslave people. To do this they seek to conquer the world, and to do that they must first defeat every national polity because any that do not collapse will stand to prevent their success at global conquest.
We don't have to defeat them in corrupt courts, attack their bunkers with force of arms, or outvote their candidates in rigged elections. All we have to do is seize the means of production suitable to our personal circumstances - and that doesn't mean storming factories with armed mobs of workers, as Marx envisioned before this transition to table top tech enabling individuals to manufacture modern blessings of civilization emerged. It means buying or building a 3D printer that cost about the price of a nice lunch out with family or friends, pouring a new foundation for our home using carbon black to create a supercapacitor to store electrical energy, creating an indoor garden with ponds and fountains to use aquaponics to provide all our food, or any number of the decentralized means of production that have become available that enable us to ourselves create the modern goods and services that create the blessings of civilization.
All we have to do is make what we need ourselves, keep it, and help our neighbors to do so, and overlords become obsolete. As the overlords lose wealth and power, because we keep it when we make it, sooner or later they become incapable of paying gangs of armed thugs to conquer and control society and irrelevant. In the meantime modern tech enables us to secure our persons, homes, and communities with far superior tools than chemically propelled slugs of metal, and those gangs of armed thugs become less competent to conquer and control us.
Then, we win.
Thanks!
