flipping a decent proportion of the military rank-and-file is a necessary condition for revolution, i’d say
There were many struggle sessions on the old sub about whether veterans or active duty can be comrades, but I remain convinced that the only effective strategy will be driving a wedge into the armed forces and the only way we can do that is by creating an on ramp of some sort for members who are willing to renounce imperialism.
We don't need to stick them in political leadership roles or anything, but every grunt with a rifle we turn away may be a grunt with a rifle shooting at us.
The troop hate is the result of having an understanding of what Imperialism is but still having a fundamentally liberal worldview where individuals have moral culpability for being cogs in an immoral machine. There is nothing practical about it, it's pure fee fees.
