Its unfortunate to say but in our case direct action against the system isn't black and white, we aren't meant to directly advance our goals and push them back. We are supposed to jam the system and prevent the system from "working", thus degrading the quality of life for those the system supports. The more straight forward and productive efforts will be focused on developing local communities/ties and power structures so as the system is rendered unable to provide the comfy standard of living the lemmings have grown to expect they can turn to these alternate structures, the new "system", under our control. Lemmings are always lemmings and they always defend the hand that feeds them.
