    Do you think a socialist system is the will of the masses?

        But until then, a revolution would necessarily be undemocratic.

          Please read theory, you’re speaking nonsense. No one is advocating for 3 random Communists to overthrow the state by themselves. There can be no revolutionary movement without the support of the masses.

            You can absolutely have a revolution without majority support, you just need support of the majority of the power.

                What’d you call a overthrow of the government with say 30% popular support? A coup?

                  Depends. You’re very interested in avoiding reading books, so I don’t really care to play semantical games with you when you don’t know what we are talking about to begin with.

                    You have suggestions for books? I’m not going to be able to read more than a couple of pages in the middle of this conversation, but maybe after we’re done?

                    My point is I don’t think you should be advocating starting revolution till that opinion is close to a majority.
