Deeply unappreciated fact: the most "impactful" person in science right now is this Kazakhstani hacker queen. She is the one-woman bridge to the largest repository of scientific knowledge ever collected.

Would the most cost-effective form of organising for socialism be to campaign in workers pension fund trustee elections, push them to borrow money now when the interest rates are low, and use it to buy ownership in big corporations?
Trustee elections seem to have low turnout, so would be easier to gain a majority than in other elections.
