RE: The Bill of Rights (including The 2nd Amendment) was written to 'Protect The People' from their own government, not from each other. Which explains WHY 'career politicians' WANT your gun.
I usually like to thing of the ideal future I want. To get to that point we'd need to have some way to organize everyone in the whole world so that they follow certain moral, legal and cultural codes.
We need some form of organization. And we need some form of long term planning and fast reactive planning.
We'd need a way to ensure that capital belonging to humanity can't be captured by any one group, we'd need another way to ensure that land resources won't be exploited simply because "it belongs to everyone"
And all that is already dependent on somehow changing the very beliefs that's ingrained into everyone from their birth to death.
The fact that so many go to jobs and have to tolerate being shit on by their employees just cause they're the ones paying their salaries. If it wasn't something deeply ingrained in most of society would anyone ever allow it? At the moment people don't seem very willing to change the way things work. They're tired.
"The fact that so many go to jobs and have to tolerate being shit on by their employees just cause they're the ones paying their salaries."
wait, are you suggesting the ruling class is the one being attacked and needs protecting?
No. I'm saying that people (the working class mostly) Don't care to change cause they've been conditioned their whole life to accept the way things are and the way they operate.
It's like owning slaves but cutting down on the costs of keeping guards through telling the slaves they're free, and convincing them they were the ones to choose how they currently live their lives.
organisation after the revolution is easy enough, the hardest problem is showing the workers what capitalism is truly like, and then the revolution itself.
They already know what capitalism is like. They don't live with it due to a lake of knowledge. It's just plainly that they don't see an alternative, see only violence as an alternative and refuse to go there, or see something ineffectual as an alternative.
Or they might see bitcoin/crypto as some kind of economic uprising.

anpacs exist m8, the majority of workers do not know how the system operates. Most people think Venezuela is socialist, that should say enough
I'm talking about realizing what's going on around them. Majority of people feel and know it ain't right.
yes, and they are attacking blindly. Fascism takes hold of this feeling and scapegoat other groups, while socialism strikes at the heart of the problem. There is a reason fascism and socialism often rise up at the same time.
on top of that many of the progressive neo-liberals blame the rich, while the problem is the system itself. The rich could be removed over and over again, and another set of ruling class capitalists would take their place every time.
thats because the capitalists do everything in their power to do so. Our only option is to accept defeat or to fight
