This is a vote winner around ex-nuclear sites, the SNP have it wrong imo. Nuclear may not be the best long term solution, but we have smashed 1.5C - we need to do more today.

Outreach: Make connections with local people, get them aware of you and what you’re wanting to do, get their input on what they would like to see.
Planning: Come up with things you want to see your community doing, maybe start with a small street party each year.
For example you might live in an apartment, so you knock on some doors and meet with your neighbours and they say they’d love a garden. Now you’ve gotta plan how to get it started, maybe a local council or vacant property could be converted. Once you’ve got an activity or place, you can get people to start using it and spending time together. Maybe your first harvest comes in and you all have a large picnic which you can advertise around to get more awareness and engagement, etc.
The welfare state was invented by Bismarck to crush leftism, it’s not leftism itself.
And unions and unionism are fucking atrocious in this country.
Look at the SDA it’s an entirely industry bought and ran right wing union, which has actually fought for worse deals for its members.
Furthermore we only allow government approved unions, meaning tough luck if you want a real union that will fight for you. It’s the entire reason the IWW is not operating in Australia despite its presence across the world.
The closest thing we have to a left wing party outside of the fringe socialist groups is the Greens who run on a proper union supporting platform.
