Where is the analysis of the principal contradictions of American capitalism? Where are your concrete strategies to take power beyond milquetoast anti-war protests? How are you going to leverage these contradictions to achieve your political goals (real, not imagined/fantasized)?

Are you really going to see these concrete strategies if you're not part of the parties? It's not safe at all to be openly revolutionary in America as any flavour of socialist as can be seen by MOVE, BPP, hell even as someone who isn't openly revolutionary like MLK Jr.

It wasn't safe for the Bolsheviks or the CPC's Red Army, either, and they still did it. The conditions were especially bad in China when the Japanese invaded. They massacred entire villages if they even suspected they were providing aid to communists.

"If conservatives have the choice between abandoning conservatism or abandoning democracy, they will abandon democracy," applies to American liberals when given the choice between communism and reaction. MOVE, the BPP, and MLK were all opposed to by "white moderates" that would rather uphold white supremacy than allow black liberation if it means socialism.
