(Inspired by a post I boosted... yesterday?)

If you're calling for a 'revolution' and to 'violently overthrow the system', have you thought about:
- Where (chronic) medication is going to come from?
- Who is going to provide services for disabled folks that are currently provided by the government?
- How you're going to replace food assistance programs?
- And so on, and so forth.

If you haven't, then how is your call for revolution any materially different from, say, people promoting eugenics? And I don't mean *intention*, I mean in practical outcomes.

This is why, despite being an anarchist, and despite not being *fundamentally* opposed to violence in activism, you don't see me constantly shouting about overthrowing the system.

Step one is building up, alternative support networks specifically; tearing down only comes *after* that. If you don't get the order right, the most vulnerable people will die.
