I find "tear it all down" people hilarious. Like... yea, ok, we'll tear it all down. And who's gonna rebuild after? You and your keyboard?

revolutionaries will do it, just like the bolsheviks did.

The Bolsheviks relied on existing structures, functionaries and specialists because they HAD to. Nothing else was possible, they existed in the real world in the midst of a civil war, not some childish fantasy.

Trotsky aggressively recruited Tsarist military officers, many of which served without really aligning with Bolshevism.

And just a few other facts to add: world war, civil war, famine, coercion, mass violence, dependemce on inherited infrastructure and harsh repression. That's what you want for the US? Because real people, the ones not playing make believe on the internet, do not.

I never denied that revolutionaries in the US shouldnt utilize already existing state apparatus, do you even understand what collapsing means?

Change requires sacrifices, but american left thinks americans need to babysat into revolution, america is already inflicting civil war, famine, coercion, mass violence and harsh repression on many countries.

see how little it takes to make you admit you're a nationalist?
