Alright that sounds awesome but is also super vague and leaves out all the important steps like the how and the when.

Step 1: Engender class consciousness in the american working class <--- You are here

Step 2: Organize

Step 3: Demonstrate

Step 4: Continue escalating until the capital class is forced to negotiate

Notice that 'vote' does not appear on this list.

I'm not American.

If "vote" doe not appear on your list, then your list is flawed.

"Abolish the capital class" is not an option on any democratic ballot i've ever seen.

Maybe that's because your neighbours don't agree with you?

Because they lack class consciousness, because they don't believe in the embodied power of capital as being distinct from the power of organized government.

The first step in any socialist movement is agitative propaganda to engender a sense of class consciousness.
