: Comrades, a lot of talk has been going on for CENTURIES about overthrowing capitalism with a system for the people. But what can we ever DO about it? What are the first steps towards revolution, people-style? There's no more debating (between Comrades) whether capitalism can be reformed or not. It has to be replaced--NOW. So what can we do??? I'd like to hear your thoughts on this matter as soon as possible. Maybe then we can get this thing STARTED!!! (and FINISHED!!!) Onward, Comrades: Solidarity Forever!!!

If you can achieve unity in the left, constitute a definite alternative (which has elements that all people find attractive regardless of Left political views)put it to the people and have them agree then Capitalism is doomed.

This is a massive international task and the individual circumstance of nations must be considered, religious states, persuado socialists e.g. China and nationalist struggles such as the Irish or ETA all pose difficulties.

It'll take centuries, not just life times, but in the mean time unions and anti-fascist activities require attention.

Comrade Green, would you by any chance be advocating gurilla warfare?

If you are there are circumstance under which this can succeed e.g. Zapatistas but I would have thought this in conflict with your world view.
