We need to build resilient networks that can slowly replace oppressive centralized power.

hmm, maybe a truly massive party with many cadres around the country? perhaps? maybe?

I advocate for building strong local communities, that are heavily interconnected.

Are you 100% sure there's nothing like this in China?

so how to do this neat leftcom kind of stuff, without some kind of centralization, when also you simultaneously need to

  • modernize your country, literally everything from agriculture, to healthcare and heavy industry and so on
  • defend yourself from antagonistic countries
  • defend yourself from giant multinational corpos who'd jump at the chance to plunder your resources
  • defend yourself from fascist/monarchist elements inside your country

I mean in actual practice in a real historical scenario?

This debate went way off the rails, but maybe tell me about how you think things should go. For example what would be a way for the US to transition to communism.

Nah, I give up at this point and Xi only paid me for this long, my shift is over.
Read Parenti and others.

For usa to transition to communism we first need to strike them with missiles until their whole military & propaganda apparatus is completely destroyed
