Sure, but where and how will a decentralized and asymmetrical insurgency act. How will they do attacks? What is the goal of these attacks? If there is no direction then they do just turn into individual acts of propaganda of the deed.
You still have a power structure though. My point is that random acts will hurt more than help a workers revolution. I’m not doubting guerrilla warfare and it’s tactics (I’m trying to study them) but in the US I don’t think it can be as easily applied.
Power structure was probably a poor wording choice. I think leadership within a organization would arise though, and that could be democratic/consensus. Plus, having that sort of organization could help prevent groups/cells carrying things out on their own or what have you.
Right. I understand what you’re saying, I just disagree with it being widely successful in the United States. I think here we would need a vanguard with a “defensive force” that specifically does these things, follows a party line, and is still beholden to the working class.
I mean obviously there will be cells or groups that do this on their own, but at what point do they become a problem (or hindrance?) for revolution? Or even post revolution?
Edit: actually, it could possibly work in certain parts of the United States. Would all depends on the conditions and consciousness and ability of whoever, etc. maybe for smaller attacks that target moral and can provide instability to reactionary forces (I’m a vet so I know some ways of disabling vehicles). Larger assaults or battles could be led by a more vanguard style? Who knows comrade.
Good thing then that the meme isn't advocating for propaganda of the deed
