The spontaneism is the Luxembourg stance or the De Leonist stance and spontaneous workers revolution just doesn't happen, even in eras of much higher class consciousness and higher contradictions of the 1910s to 30s. It just didn't work, maybe now with new tech, but the workers just kept getting their asses handed to them because they didn't have a coordinating body so the Freikorps could put down an uprising in Munich and then a month later, the workers had a spontaneous uprising in Dusseldorf but they couldn't link up and coordinate and so were defeated. I, personally, think they would've been better off with a strong demcent communist party but even with that we see the little sparks get snuffed out (like in France in 1968, where the ostensible communist party told the Mai 68 people to back down and accept some concessions and I guess they figured they'd be able to abolish capitalism with a bill in 20 years).
I don't know what is to be done, I wish we had a modern Lenin to make sense of the world but we seem to be woefully leader-less. For now, yeah, try your best to organize and mutual aid and hope things change because as much as it's still important to work and organize, we really depend on the tide of history and chance to make revolution possible.
