Been thinking about it a lot, and how would people be able to communicate with each other if the forces of capital (huge telecom conglomerates) just decided to shut down and become dormant? Capitalism has such a stranglehold on society that we'd be absolutely fucked. What about our electrical grids? And to add onto that, you're probably facing the US military in addition to the militaries of all its allies

    Having shitty infrastructure means it's actually not that centralized. Also the internet itself is technically decentralized, which means they'd be able to shut down the convenient internet but any revolution controlling a region could use the same equipment to run its own internet.

    You should also assume that any revolution with the slightest chance of success would be armed to the teeth and present a challenge to the military, even if it's just 10% of the country armed with rifles.
