None? I dunno. Maybe it is a bit of the Scotsman fallacy or maybe I'm just too idealistic, but I don't have an on-hand example of a true people's revolution led only by the people yet. But I assume a lot of that is due to overwhelming power of capitalism and their incentive to immediately quell anything that resembles it, whether through violence, or compromise, or allures of wealth, more than the impractically of the thing happening.

I don't have all the answers here, and I think it seems there needs to be some kind of catalyst to unify the working class in such a massive way, and while I'm uncertain what that catalyst is I don't vibe with the "ends justify the means" approach of a vanguard that seems to me so antithetical to communal nature of my limited understanding of Marxism. I keep trying to understand it but it always comes back to me to a "they don't know what's best for them" mentality and then what's the fucking point, we're just trading one subjugator for another.
