Winning a revolution will most likely look like war. If that weren't true, we would not be where we are right now. We will need a violent force capable of defeating the combined forces of the military, the police and the right wing militias. We do not have that. That is one of several reasons why I think the anti-gun liberals have doomed us. This is obviously going to require work and planning that AFAIK is not being done, and I'm not a cop, no cops, don't tell me anything about anything that's going on

There is a secondary war we need to fight immediately. We need to be thinking, every day, about how we are going to win the propaganda war, or if you will, the info war, which is the war for your mind and the people's minds. It will start the day the election is decided. Biden will most likely win the election. The traditional sides of this war will be defenders of Biden's administration, and the right wing who will produce a vast quantity of material criticizing Biden and democrats based on things like the high unemployment rate, the stagnant economy, stagnant wages, etc. Things that most likely will be completely true, but their answers to them are wrong.

Our position, that neither democrats nor Biden are remotely good enough and they do not actually present solutions to the myriad problems facing our generation, will not be hypothetical. It will be tested and proven. We need to be the ones attacking Biden and the democrats, and the most politically clueless person in America should never be able to confuse us with the right while we do it.

We have good terrain. We are correct and our opponents are wrong and weak. Unlike with Obama, no one thinks Biden will be a transformational president. He has said repeatedly that he will not be a transformational president, which is IMHO an extremely bizarre position for a president to take in 2020. He is not popular. No one particularly trusts him. Fucking liberals were convinced that he was electable so they picked him. We lost the propaganda war while the conversation was theoretical. That era will be over.

As for the right, they are more wrong (with a few exceptions), they have no answers, but they have a powerful propaganda system and it will produce a never ending torrent of nonsense, but it will speak to people's actual situation. The uninformed masses will hear that part and assume that the right must be the team that will fight for them.

They are not. We are. We need to make that as clear as we can to as many people as possible. Nothing good can happen unless we can do so.

    One of the good things about being a Communist is that the Bourgeoise and the enemies of the people are still subject to the laws of material reality. Capitalism, by its nature, will tear itself down in the name of the cult of growth. We are on the side of the people, we are on the right side of history, we will win.

      Capitalism is tearing itself down, but we will only win if we fight. Capitalism seems to develop new ways to carry on every year.
