people keep trying to convince me that the entire economic system needs to be burned down and rebuilt from scratch according to a book written in 1867. what's your plan for Thursday though. specifically Thursday. the day after the revolution. what happens on Thursday
@Daojoan the revolution doesn't just happen.
@Daojoan it's not The Great July Revolution to End Capitalism™️. It's more of a process that spans years, if not decades or centuries. Just look at how the merchantilist system gave way to industrial capitalism

@burnoutqueen @Daojoan A lot of damage has been done by describing "the revolution" as a single specific event.

Even the Russian Revolution, when it's pointed to as a model of a single specific event, involved decades of building alternative forms of social organization.

@foolishowl @Daojoan

It demeans the foresight and the dedicated efforts of the Russian revolutionaries tbh

@foolishowl @burnoutqueen @Daojoan not to mention two separate revolutions
