We do as we’ve always done, and because it is our interests we represent, not the bourgeois’.

“Is the strategy most socialist organizations in the US are using, in your opinion, a good one?”
The issue is 99% of the orgs operating in the US are not scientific socialist, they are either bourgeois socialist (socdem; CPUSA, SA, etc…), hopelessly idealist (looking at the Maoist insurrectionist adventurists, the Avakian cult, other related clowns), or appears legitimate in name and nature on the surface but when one looks deeper it becomes clear that they are ran by crypto-spook trotskyists (ANSWER, PSL). The 1 party I know of which is legitimate is not without it’s own issues and has survived 2 major attacks by the bourgeois state in recent years but is ultimately still not large enough to make a large impact (PCUSA). Others exist however are much smaller.
“What should be done about the sudden rise of socially reactionary beliefs and laws across the country?”
Paradoxically, this is work to be decided by a party. One can attempt to infiltrate both sides and attempt to mend the issues of relatability and respect using Marxist analysis and dialectical materialism, but without a party spearheading and coordinating this the results will be sporatic.

Study and play to your strengths. If you’re someone people lean on for help, help them understand the real causes of their misery. If you’re someone who is good at math, perhaps create propaganda which demonstrates the math of capitalism and socialism. If you’re someone who is popular perhaps educate your peers. Etc…
You are young and likely still requiring essential education and to develop experience. The job of the youth is always learn and socialize no matter what form society takes. Simply apply Marxism to this paradigm 👍

Great job! This is very productive work.
The reason why the healthcare system is parasitic is because it is controlled by the bourgeoisie and so it serves their interests. We must control it or create an alternative and protect it from the state. As per always the creation of proletarian power starts with unionization and organizing a radical proletarian political party. This is the work to be done to counteract, change, or create conditions.
This is why we see so many unionization efforts underway, from Marxists to anarcho syndicalists, to the preexisting labor bureau/aristocratic unions expanding and striking. This conversation has already been had. It’s a race to unionize.
A similar race is taking place in the political sphere however this race is much more competitive than the union race. This is because there are many ‘false prophets’, wolves in sheeps clothings operating so as to sabotage our class’ efforts towards liberation.
Digressing, the work is already being carried out, our task is to continue this work and intensify it by building our organizations and thus our class’ potential power. For this power to be realized and utilized it must be guided in a revolutionary manner.
The only real question is what is this movement willing and ready to do when (not if) the bourgeois state’s electoral/voting system (yet again) rejects the needs of the people?
