Sorry. I think I responded to the wrong comment. What you are talking about is Prefigurative Politics. You want means to justify the end. The problem with revolutions is that it is a coalition against an established power with different ideas of what comes after. I wish I had an answer for you, but I’m just beginning to explore this aspect. Vincent Bevins has a recent book that get into why protests fail and explores the lack of prefiguration in planning. I haven’t read it though. I heard of it from a recent Upstream podcast. Hope it helps.
I appreciate the links and the discussion (not to mention the not devolving into insulting rhetoric).
I am heavily involved in local politics and I’m always interested in revolutionary policies as long as they are economically sound and actually function. Unlike many arguments I’m sure we both had online, I will actively read the links you posted to me.

“All politics are local.” Your actions are commendable and you are a hero.
galleanists are ardently against prefigurative theories of revolution, and i am tending toward them lately.
I’m ignorant about Galleanists. Where should I look to learn?
you found the best source i can find. click a coupla the links there.
i also found a book written by his grandchild available on archive.org for digital lending.
I’ll give it a look. Thanks.
