and if you read theory, it's just a detailed explanation of capitalism! Nobody actually has a concrete, actionable prescription of how to make "the good society", just a general sense that something better is possible if we start doing something with what we already have
That's a pretty absurd thing to say. There's lots of theory that isn't descriptive of capitalism like Kapital is. Pretty much all of Lenin's main works except Imperialism deal with how socialist society should organize.
But then you’re listening to fucking Lenin.
Yes, one of the proletariat's greatest heroes and one of history's most successful revolutionaries.
Any time you have to force or coerce a system onto a population against popular sentiment, it's doomed to fail.
Which is why capitalist shitholes of the west are now visibly coming apart at the seams.
Exactly. Capitalism was forced on the population, ergo it is doomed to fail.
that's why we need to abolish private property in the means of productions
I'm more in support of socialist revolution to attempt a smooth(er) transition, but eventually yes
There are zero historical examples of capitalists giving up their power without a fight. The history of the 20th century and the cold war is one of repressive counter-revolutions killing hundreds of millions of people in the global south who tried to build socialism.
You're asking for the impossible bob
I don't know, I think they're just confused. Socialist revolution is the transition to the state of society in which private property has been abolished.
