    Revolution isn’t magical, it’s the boiling point for society as material conditions decay. It may seem impossible when you’re living in it, but eventually the material conditions will reach a point where revolution will occur.

    This is painfully obvious for those who have read and agree with Marx’s analysis of Capitalism. A quick into text is Wage Labor and Capital. Capitalism is fundamentally unsustainable and cannot continue to exist forever. International Imperialism has made this last far longer, but society develops alongside technology, and eventually the global south will throw off the global north.

    Therefore, whether you are an Anarchist, or Marxist, it remains important not to simply wait for a Revolution, but to build up parallel structures, parties, groups, organizations of mutual aid, and so forth, to help guide along the revolutionary movement and gain trust in existing leftist structures. Unionization is huge for this as well.

    Voting is good, sure, but will never bring about positive change, merely delay decay.
