You would need a mass of people willing to sacrifice themselves for it. There have been a few isolated retribution attacks like after Eric Garner was choked to death and a guy ambushed two cops sitting in their cruiser and shot them both dead before killing himself shortly after. Same a few weeks ago when a guy did basically the same thing and ran away, neither of the cops died in that one and they just identified him a few days ago from the security footage. Attacking cops comes with the knowledge that they're either going to kill you outright during the confrontation or they'll almost certainly be able to track you down and either kill you later or at least throw you in jail forever. Either way your life is going to be over, most people haven't been pushed to the point where they decide "Fuck it. My life is over anyway, might as well take a few pigs with me on the way out."
50K people commit suicide in the USA every year. i don't want comrades killing themselves, but i have thought if you could find a way to radicalize the suicidal you would really get some shit done.
Tell them, if your life is already forefeit, you might as well go out raging against the dying of the light and leaving a dent against capital instead of succumbing to despair.
ngl, being too lazy to plan some kind of last stand has probably kept me from self-harm more than anything else. i have been utterly miserable, but i have too many people i hate, people i have a vendetta against, who have done evil, who are doing evil, who will continue to do evil the rest of their careers if not one intervenes to stop them. can't waste such a precious opportunity to leave the world without dragging some of the evil with me. i guess it's really fucking dark, but clinging onto that got me through some really rough times. not too recently, i am all right now. but it's fragile, the dark is always just one piece of bad news away.
I'm not necessarily advising going out with guns literally blazing, Nat-Turner or John-Brown style. Not even in minecraft. Isolated acts of terror are generally not effective at winning working-class solidarity. Working to leave subtler dents and bruises against capital, or to build the forces that will eventually unleash proletarian wrath against the ruling class (in minecraft) may be a better use of your time.
