Kinda. If you look at past successful socialist revolutions, most often helmed by a far weaker party than the bourgeois establishment, you can see that they have actual strategy (informed by theory) toward success.

For example, Mao was absolutely obsessed with land reform. When the Chinese Communists were nearly wiped out during the Long March, Mao was insistent on land reform because he could see the revolutionary potential it could unleash from the rural peasantry. It wasn’t just building a power base after they had been banished to the countryside, he was absolutely convinced that land reform is where it will play a decisive role in the revolution.

Chiang Kai-shek wasn’t a bad opponent, you know. He was a brilliant military commander and given his vast military resources, could eventually overwhelm the communists. His greatest mistake was to underestimate Mao’s land reform, which cost him the ultimate victory.

What the American left needs today is to pinpoint - through theory - what would be the decisive factors in defeating capitalism and build an actual strategy around them. The problem is that they don’t even know how and where to begin.
