Revolution is not when you exchange one group of landlords for a different set. It is a total upending of systems. That is the true meaning. Soc dems and reformists think we can just change the window dressing and call it systemic. “If the new lord is better than the old lord we can return to the happiness of feudalism.” What a terrible thing to believe.

We must reclaim this term. These terms belong to the people not a bunch of centuries dead slaveholding jackasses in powdered wigs who didn’t change a goddamn thing.

Just something I’ve been thinking about lately.

    It kind of is tho? Revolution doesn’t necessarily entail destroying class society, it’s just any rapid and significant change in governmental structures.
