the masses will turn to radical solutions if there is collapse.

financial collapse.

when people are starving.

if the system worsens, which it will, they will realize the system is against them, and the few who saw it all along will be there to help them.

when people have no food or money.

yes. so target the System. simple.

it is a sad state of affairs, but they will reject the revolution until they see for themselves.

mhm. the Revolution won't begin until the masses are unhappy or displeased.

if the masses are threatened.

killing and rioting will only make us look like the crazies, and convince the proletariat that their capitalist bondage is better than that.

the average person isn't a political warrior or a revolutionary.

just that: an average person. a man working to feed his family.

not until forced to be.

his priority is food and life.

so if you take away the food, he will turn to other solutions.

but action now does not make you a revolutionist, or a leader, it makes you an extremist, and further separates the cause from the hands of the working class.

also, the masses will support who they see as the strongest and most capable group. this is basic human nature.

they won't support groups that are weak.

and display weakness.

the masses are motivated primarily by terror!

"but action now does not make you a revolutionist, or a leader, it makes you an extremist, and further separates the cause from the hands of the working class."

LMAO

so just be an armchair intellectual then?

do you care to argue on why that is false?

Since "action" is for extremists?

Stalin was effective at using political weapons.

let me elaborate better. if we act in violence now, to the working class they will only perceive us as extremists who threaten their way of life. Only when they see from our view by experiencing the oppression of the capitalist system will they want to stand with us.

if this is lost to you than I have no better way of helping it.

you should read SIEGE

it talks about tactics for revolution

i think what he is trying to say we should wait till a dark time to start a revolution, like Russia under the Tsar

It was written by a radical Maoist

Named Jason Mason

based

Heh. Jason Mason

and how exactly would you display yourself as a champion of the masses, Mr. Red? how can the average person perceive you if you just act like weaklings and pacifists?

read this book. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_Guerrilla_Warfare

I never claimed to be a champion of the masses.

I will advocate for revolution when revolution is necessary, until then, I advocate for letting the support grow, let the proletariat discover that they are oppressed, and join the cause.
