    They don’t start from an idea, they start from objective reality. Objective contradictions are bound to produce a clash of forces. We don’t just will ideas from the ether and they take form. Ideas are formed after the fact, after an investigation as been done whether it’s the idealized version of the current society or the idealized version of a future society.

    You don’t will these forces into existence, they already exist. Chances are that if some Communist militia existed, it existed out of necessity or tradition. A mass protest is an objective phenomena that cannot usually be coordinated and usually mass protest requires a certain spark. Whey you need to ask yourself here and now in the 21st century is where does the mass movement exist now, where does populism exist, understand why it exists and what led to their movement then go to it and become a leader. Remember, it is people who make history, not single men.

    Not really agree with previous post, it’s look very idealistic, and of course we need to inspire for what happen on the real, but I really thing some ideas, practices and ways to do thing can really improve the situation of the people. Many revolution started only from few people, and new technics and speak can really change the way of the class war.
