Just a random anon here thinking about what keeps people in a state of decadent complacency and it appears to me that the spectacle and commodity (not that those are inseparable) are the key issues. Most people are waiting for the next episode of their favorite show to be released or the new product that will make their tiny lives easier to drop. As long as there are enough distractions, they'll remain distracted from their increasingly powerless lives.

It seems that if a somewhat sizable amount of anarchists could disrupt manufacture and transport severely enough, through a really intense series of sabotage of crucial transportation, manufacturing and communication centers, the majority of people would have no choice but to talk with each other and work together, which might lead to many of them questioning the fundamental oppression they have in common.

No internet (not sure how that's possible, maybe severed fiber optics cables?) + No new stuff to buy (because the ports, major freeways and railroads are compromised) + Precarious food security (see transportation sabotage) + increased State repression (trying to round people up who would be responsible and pissing people off in the process) might = a situation where people could become less complacent and have more of a chance of working together for something cooler than what we have.
