This is the best solution. If we can no longer count on our "representatives" to represent our needs in governance, we must build our own separate governance from the ground up to help one another. The Black Panthers knew they couldn't trust the racist US government to help the black community, so they organized to help the community themselves. They *mostly* did community support projects, but they *did* have a set of armed members who essentially acted as a local police force since they also definitely couldn't trust the police to protect them.
