yea, but my idea was always that this type of transition can't work because eventually the bourgeoisie picks up arms (or rather, they get their goons to do it through the army or paramilitaries) and if we don't react accordingly we just get killed and lose, as we've seen countless times

so i wonder what made it work this time. maybe easier communications allow for faster mobilization so that we can organize strikes and road blockades really fast? was it because it's now a bit (a lot??) harder to cover up a massacre and that discouraged the police and soldiers? was it dissent among the coup leaders? did covid make it harder for them to consolidate their power? was it all influenced by the fact that the crazy reactionary evangelicals were the ones to gain notoriety (remember that ridiculous añez photo with a gigantic bible lmao), and that screwed up the propaganda effort? maybe all of these together? which variables were more significant? this isn't just out of intellectual curiosity, i'm actually interested to know if it can be replicated, especially here in the continent, because if it can, well, revolutionary wars are perfectly justifiable, but if the war part could be avoided it would be uhh... nice
