  • You seem to be conflating capitalism with democracy. Which suggests you want some kind of authoritarian socialism or communism, which - no thank you. And now you are not talking about the ‘working class’, which definitely includes a vast majority so has no democratic barriers, but a ‘revolutionary class’ - ie, ‘the party’, a small group that seize power and oppress the rest ruthlessly. Again, no thank you. That is just trading one group of self-intrerested individuals with no restraints (who are psychopathic about it) for another group (who are ruthless zealots about it).


  • If you can organize the working classes that fully before violence, you have enough alignment to use democratic or other non-violent means to change the system.

    The real problem is that it doesn’t matter if your end goal is violence or not - it’s that the current state will bring violence to you loooong before you are able to organize that sufficiently. Including villianizing you - which plans of violence and destabilization help them with.

    You can’t say “we’ll organize first” because no you can’t.
