Tactical urbanism would be getting together and building benches for those bus stops no cross walks in my neighborhood, we could fix that

Problem is that a lot of the times this is illegal. Those benches could be removed or worse there could be consequences for those who install it. Not saying you shouldn't do this, but just saying that there is usually a lot of resistance even to simple projects like that.

communists tend to be more educated than average, we could be helping people get their GEDs, holding classes funded and organized by the party, this appeals directly to the masses, you help someone get their GED? You’ll have a loyal comrade.

Our party's student wing does that. It's a really good effort.

Also agreed with Grain Eater that I wouldn't call them anarchist tactics.

Your first part is kind of why they've become known as anarchist tactics though, because it seems to me, and this might come off some type of way, that anarchists are the ones who are willing to take that kind of risk. And sometimes you just gotta take that risk, I feel. I mean, it's putting benches up. You can make them with wood, and you could probably do a bunch in the afternoon. And maybe they get taken away, but you just build new ones. I mean, hell, in LA there was a group of people who were doing crosswalks, and the city started removing them, and it caused a bunch of problems in the media, because people were like, why are you removing these crosswalks? Why didn't you build them in the first place? And then it became a propaganda win, which is what we need.

I'm also really glad that you guys are doing that GED stuff. I think that that is a winning strategy, a winning move. You know, I think about my own father, who had to get his GED when he was like 23. And, you know, he's kind of like an apathetic Gen X conservative, and I wonder if that could have been, way back then, a kind of starting point to make him not that.

Lets not get hung up on semantics though!
