How is the transition accomplished? "On s'engage et puis on voit." When in rough seas, one can't really see what is behind the next big wave. One has to be prepared to swift and decisive changes. That is part of the _art_ of revolution. If you want certainty about each and every step following the next step, and the step following that, you are incapable to move. > And since any action, any candidate, any demonstration around > these issues will bring the full repressive power > of the state down on it, > how about clandestine development of self-defense forces? Why clandestine? It can be very open and public. The more, the better. It is all just up to the concrete situation. Leading the revolution before and after taking power is an _art,_ not a science.
