    What's the game plan look like to get the british army to overthrow the state and then also institute socialism at least?

    And why would you want any army as the ruling dictatorship? I can see needing an army, it's sort of a necessary function of a state, I do not see why you need them in charge of things entirely undemocratically

      It really depends on what you mean by "army". At first glance I had the same reaction, that a military dictatorship is not good, but if you start to think about it as a people's army it doesn't seem so bad. The prospect of an actual socialist revolution in somewhere like Britain is so far fetched, but if it were to happen that would be the only way I could see it going down. There would be years of reaction to suppress, and I don't see how that's done without a very active and large people's army doing the suppressing.
