Could Property be taken over without a full confrontation with the state and its armed bodies?

I am writing a manifesto, either for a new party, or just as an outline for what i think Socialist organisations should be operating.
I am doing this to try and find a strategy capable of mobilizing the masses and focusing on grassworks movement.

The main course of action would be property expropriation off the rich, this would then provide, housing, and could be used to run survival programmes out of such as soup kitchens, drug withdrawal centres and meeting quaters for unions (part of manifesto).

But i am not sure as to the feasability of this, as confronting the state so head in could spell disaster, not just for a party, but for the workers aswell.

Advice please, is it possible, or even worth it, or would energy be best put into other actions by a party?

I will be posting the Manifesto when finished.

Thanks.

I think it is a good idea, but only if the party had lots of members,who were willing to partake in something as heavy as this.

Maybe possible if some groups joined into one, with members willing to be locked up or even die for the cause, not alot of those about ATM though.

I think you are wrong, there are lots of comrades willing to give everything for the cause, they just lack the platform to do so.

Most communist organisations do not have any prescence in the working class areas, because they just theorize, due to workers having no interest in them because, what have they done for the workers.

If a organised group were taking the riches property and organising strikes and prison unions and trying to mobilise the people, the workers would take notice.

Hanging some bankers will be a populist action at the present moment.
