I don't think doomerism and defeatism is the answer.
You're never going to convince the Right to join you in giving up, so all your philosophy does is give you an excuse to not join in the fight. Seems cowardly to me tbh.
Every attempt we make to organize is thwarted or infiltrated in some way. We try to democratically elect someone who at least doesn't hate us and he's rejected by the system. Right now, fighting that system directly is foolish. It does need to be destroyed, but I'm saying that the best way to accomplish that goal is to encourage it to destroy itself We should be finding ways to sabotage and subvert it on every level. The time for direct confrontation will be when the system has been weakened, not while it's at its peak.
The Freedom Fighter's Manual"The Freedom Fighter's Manual is the title of a fifteen-page propaganda booklet that was manufactured by the United States Central Intelligence Agency and airdropped over Nicaragua in 1983, with the stated goal of providing a "Practical guide to liberating Nicaragua from oppression and misery by paralyzing the military-industrial complex of the traitorous marxist state". The manual explains several methods by which the average citizen could cause civil disorder. The airdrops began after the Sandinista National Liberation Front, which had overthrown the former Nicaraguan leader, Anastasio Somoza in 1979, and had ties to the Soviet Union and Cuba, began to fund a similar revolutionary group in El Salvador. A Contra fighter gave the manual to a U.S. reporter in Honduras in 1984."
