    We need to build resilient networks that can slowly replace oppressive centralized power.

    hmm, maybe a truly massive party with many cadres around the country? perhaps? maybe?

    I advocate for building strong local communities, that are heavily interconnected.

    Are you 100% sure there's nothing like this in China?

    so how to do this neat leftcom kind of stuff, without some kind of centralization, when also you simultaneously need to

    • modernize your country, literally everything from agriculture, to healthcare and heavy industry and so on
    • defend yourself from antagonistic countries
    • defend yourself from giant multinational corpos who'd jump at the chance to plunder your resources
    • defend yourself from fascist/monarchist elements inside your country

    I mean in actual practice in a real historical scenario?
