Eh, maybe some other time.

I've thought about this for a while, but from what I've read, simply hopping onto the "revolution" or uprising phase doesn't work; you have to do movement-building first and then you can think about revolution.

Also, you have to build dual power which is a bit different than just movement-building but that's a whole 'nother can of worms to deal with.

Movements can take decades, maybe even a century or two, with many zigs and zags; I think that's the more depressing aspect of it, depending on one's point of view.

Then again, I view the movements and socialism/communism in epochs which means that we have to be thinking long-term... which makes the short-term thinking of these people that try to push people into committing violent acts (because they're too chicken-shit to do so) all the more tragic.
