    Let me guess, even if the revolution you’re talking about ends up happening, you’ll only “help” by maybe going outside to kick some cars and shit like that. You wouldn’t involve yourself in any kind of armed takeover of something important, you wouldn’t lead any fresh and clueless recruits. You wouldn’t do anything particularly useful.

    You don’t even know what the resulting government would be, you only know you’d be arguing with fellow divergent revolutionaries. Not the important ones that fight themselves to the top of the chaotic new social ladder, just random ones. You’d be serving with the ones who won’t involve themselves directly with the designing of a new government, but instead are arguing about what conclusion the important guys should reach, and inevitably whining about it being the wrong one. Maybe you’ll even witness a contact of yours form a splintered faction insisting on some independent territory. But you won’t be that guy. You’ll just be cheering on the whole revolutionary-ness of it all. And then you’ll probably die.

    Why don’t you know exactly what you’d fight to implement? Why haven’t you already agreed and compromised with the rest yet? Why are you leaving that to be determined and challenged when momentum and might makes right, when the faction with the most aggressive recruitment and easiest pitch gets to call the shots? Why don’t we know what we want?

        How quaint. A disabled chronically online communist.

        No, I’m not gonna come in with more charity next time. Your opinion will not matter in the event of a revolution. The sentence about you ending up dead would absolutely end up true. You will not be taken care of.

        Do you really want to know what “my” revolution is?

        It’s clumsy. People die. There’s a high chance of one of two kinds of failure. Either outright failure to take control, or the failure to create a successful and good government structure. None of the issues with the government are easier to solve through revolution. They’d all be fairly easy to solve if we bothered to figure out what we want, then picking the hierarchy to put in place.

        The reality of America is thay fascism was on the ballot, and it was picked by the majority.

        A socialist revolution in that context would have to mean a strong paramilitary dominance over American territory. You will not get what you want. You’re just dreaming and whinging and calling for people to take action to overthrow themselves and overthrow their decision to mistreat you.
