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)

    Some off the top of my head:

    • Lenin - State and revolution
    • Lenin - Left-wing Communism, an infantile disorder.
    • 10 days that shook the world is the best for the birth of the USSR.
    • Stalin - economic problems of the soviet union.
    • Fidel - My Life

    Most revolutionary leaders wrote about their experience of organizing their parties to capture state power, while they were in the middle of it. So check out marxists.org essays by Lenin, Stalin, Mao, Zhou Enlai, Deng Xiaoping, Zhu De, Ho Chi Minh, Fidel, Che, etc. Many of their best works are their short ones giving updates on what the immediate tasks of the party are.
