This reminds me of China Miéville’s project, Salva☭e, which may have petered out last year.

Salvage is a bi-annual journal of revolutionary arts and letters.
Salvage recognises that the catastrophe is already upon us and that the decisive struggle is over what to do with the remains.
Salvage is for a communism of the ruins.

I think that's a good perspective to have on things. The collapse is the most likely scenario, so the focus should be on what to do after.

And how to survive. To realize any plans for the "after" you need to make it that far first.
