Out-competing and out-organising them. Decommodifying things, e.g. things like housing cooperatives and similar are an antidote to the real-estate market. Also, capturing even state structures, replacing hierarchical power into horizontal relations where you can, no topic is too small there. If the stars align just right simply changing the way the city’s road planning authorities communicates, how it comes to decisions, can cause a cultural shift making the electorate want to have more of that stuff. With a thousand little things organised that way it becomes harder and harder for the people at large to not ask “hey why aren’t we doing this big thing like that”.
Ultimately, the enemy is not one particular thing but the idea that organisation necessarily involves hierarchy and domination.
A Care Bears episode.
Any attempt at solidarity with the police ends with them turning on the rest of us. It’s how they got unions and everyone else still had to fight to get them
What would a “peaceful takeover” even look like?

None of that sounds impossible. Housing cooperatives (“andelsbolig” in Danish) are quite common in Denmark - I even live in one myself.
Probably something like this.
It’s hardly been peaceful, though.
