Well put. Any sound theory for overthrowing capitalism in the imperial core has to be based on practice in the imperial core. We can (and should) be informed by practice and theory from successful revolutions in the imperial periphery, but this practice took place under different circumstances, and the resulting theory remains a hypothesis until it is put into practice and adapted to our own.
closest thing the west ever had to a prole revolution was when germany invaded france... twice
commune of paris first, then the communist party had 40% of the vote tally after ww2 at one point. idk if spain would be considered the west in this take, as dynamics were different back then, but hey if you count that they certainly had a big revolution but it didnt succeed. and if you count spain, you could look at portugal as well. they had a revolution that was socialist in name but is neolib as hell rn.
Is there a particular reason to not include the German revolution/uprisings? Kinda just feels odd if almost winning a bourgeoise election is included as an almost/close to a revolution.
ruthlessly stomped before achieving any long lasting power but sure. the socialist state of bavaria lasted like 1 month i think but was mostly confined to munich

May you elaborate please? Don’t mean to JAQ off, I just am curious about decolonizing one of the largest setter states in the world.
