I keep thinking how Marxists talk about seizing state power so that capitalists/fascists don’t, and just realized, I actually kinda struggle to envision this.
We’re not capturing a flag, getting on the president’s podium isn’t gonna let you just dictate the people, so like, exactly what locations are we seizing and how are we using them to free the people?
(I probably need to read what is to be done)
I thought this was a nice example. For any of this to be possible, there needs to be a revolutionary struggle, and it needs to succeed. I think that also entails you having mass support from the people themselves.
You can’t just roll in with a gang of militants, seize a hospital, and call it a day. Once you have that critical mass of support, I think this allows you to truly & democratically draft policies that are genuinely beneficial to the people.
ugh, i’m not sure why it formatted the pictures that way…
