If you want to purge capitalists and the fascists completely from the Imperial Core, and do it in time to handle climate change, you’re going to need nuclear and biological weapons and a lot of bullets. I don’t want my friends to die just because they were born in a nightmare, so I’d rather not use the nuclear option.
Shutting down global capitalism in this way would be incredibly dangerous.
The system is delicate [fragile]: just-in-time supply networks (think food and petroleum and electricity and internet) are not at all robust. If we don’t resolve contradictions properly, there will be mass global starvation. We have to act, though. Everything is on the table when it comes to saving humanity.
The problem isn’t just having a successful revolution inside the Imperial Core - reaction will remain and class struggle will continue for some time.
This is what happened in the USSR. They changed the economic base and declared it socialism. Because Marx said so and Lenin said so, and they both read a lot of Hegel, so if you’re still not happy, peasant, you must be some kind of kulak in need of a gulag. Yes, blasphemy, I know.
We can only begin to truly remove reaction and corruption in a Cultural Revolution. Minds need to change. The proletariat must be transformed, the petit bourgeois and peasantry too.
Everyone must be proletarianized, which is itself a transformation of the mind, through re-education [mindcleansing]
