    I was overgeneralizing I admit. But it does make me wonder when someone is considered to be a class traitor or when is that line crossed. If that makes sense?

      I would say it's when the actions they take aren't even necessary for their own sustenance and they're just supporting the oppressing class for the hell of it. People doing their jobs because those are the best jobs they could find to sustain their families aren't class traitors, but those who deliberately seek out a job in the CIA or some other bourgeois instrument are traitors.

        What do we do with those working within the halls of the current government if they refuse cooperation during a transitional phase to a dictatorship of the proletariat?

        I’m just trying to think through those difficult questions. Revolution is no dinner party after all.

          I don't know man. I'm personally of the opinion that the left is pretty weak so all throughout the revolution we should use the minimum amount of violence. I don't see why lethal force would need to be used against those people, but I understand that in the moment casualties happen. Maybe someone who's more knowledgeable about the specific events that transpire in revolutions can give a grounded answer.

            Armed struggle is the only way, especially within the imperial core. With as much violence that is used for the maintenance and continuation of empire, it will take at least an equal amount to smash that state. But yes the left is basically nonexistent here
