oil and what is to be done

Mark-

I just took a look at some of Laherrere's work and other related material
on the Hubbert Peak and so forth on Jay's site, and I have a question for
you, given that you focus on the issue of the impending crash of the
oil-based capitalist world-system:

What is your view of what should be done, and what resources can you
recommend for the views of others on this question?  Praxis!

What I'm hoping for is something other than "wait for the crisis to become
severe, and launch an uprising."  I realize it may come to that, but it
seems altogether preferable to try to forestall that eventuality if at all
possible.  

(I've never been partial to the old Third International theory of General
Crisis, although oil running out is not quite the same thing as declining
rate of profits, I realize.)
