>>157068If I understand correctly, the state is like a complicated control room for a nuclear reactor. There are knobs and dials but ultimately there are a few people controlling it and making observations and
adjustments.
Our job as socialists is to storm that control room and seize it.
So where are these knobs and dials located? At first I thought it might be the government. The government officials are the knobs and dials, and the rich own them and make them move in the way they wish.
But then I read this post:
>>158609 and realized that leftists also need to seize control of key industries (Oil, logistics, farming, steel, manufacturing, media, internet).
Okay so we can talk about how to take control of the physical buildings and offices, but surely we will be met with an armed response. In every revolution I've read about, there was a violent civil war in which the socialist side conquered.
But we also know from
>>158606 that
>a communist movement in America will not necessarily resemble those in Russia and China.So all of this is to say that my imagination is having trouble playing out how exactly this goes. That means I lack an understanding of exactly what forces we will be fighting and where.
Only if we can figure this out we can move on to wargaming and simulating scenarios and developing a real plan of action.
And honestly, organizing IRL is currently not useful because there is no revolutionary strategy. This kind of work can actually be done on the internet and actually be useful.
Remember the most organized side will win.
Also I found out recently that the rules for D&D are inspired by conflict simulations, so I'm curious to try and hash out what will happen by setting up a similar framework
