It has became harder to rebel and fight the government nowadays with tanks and modern military stuff
I don't blame anyone for being scared, but at some point it has to be done. If the Vietnamese people won, so can all of us.
Unless we get the millitary on board with the revolution.
the military serves capital.
Usually, yes. However, in cases like the Bolivarian revolution, the millitary sides with the people. It's a bit more complicated than that.
that was almost 2 centuries ago and at a time when guerillas could viable combat a military.
I mean the modern Bolivarian revolution, helmed by Hugo Chavez 2 decades ago, not Bolivar himself.
Guerrillas viably combatted a military this century
and it will not get any easier, if we keep waiting eventually the rich will have enough tools to not need the plebians to survive and they will be free to cull everyone.
