Basically, most revolutionaries do not understand how a system can be taken over. You can't just decide to go to your government building, kill everyone, and then hope for the best when you decide to do whatever you want to do.
No, in order to take on Capitalism, you HAVE TO use parts of it's own economic system in order to take it down. Also, you can't practice Communism or Socialism in a Capitalist economy. The ways of overthrowing the bourgeoisie cannot be done in a Communist sense. For example, modern use of money and invisible money (e.g. credit cards, stocks) is an invention of Capitalism. But in order to sustain a revolution, we need to use that money. We need to use the Capitalist economic system in order to take itself down. Mostly because that is the way it has built itself up. Paper for posters wasn't created by some random dude out in the middle of nowhere. It's created by corporations (en mass). Same as pencils, same as computers, same as almost every single thing you come by today (even organic food, which used to be a non-corporate fling, is now in the control of the Capitalists).
Another reason is that because economic resourcefulness of the Communist and Socialist movements will eventually be absorbed by the Capitalist movements. The whole green movement used to rely on the idea that wasting resources is useless. Demand and want were not the goals. Need was the goal. But the green movement, under the wing of Capitalism and the corporate media, turned into a corporate controlled entity. Whatever you want to create independently will eventually be sucked into Capitalism, mostly because Capitalism is meant to do that. Everything is controlled in Capitalism. The free market is a market that is freely controlled by a few corporate heads and CEOs. The free market, what most blind-eyed economists think, is that it is a system where everyone is free to trade or sell or create anything else they want. In reality, it means everyone has the ability to trade, sell, or create, but corporations usually buy them out before they become big, thus controlling the market.
Capitalism cannot be defeated by Communist realism. Idealism, yes. The ideas of Communism and Socialism must remain. But in order to overthrow the bourgeoisie, you must earn money under the Capitalist system. If that means going to college to learn more about things, then that is good. I can honestly say some of the most intelligent people I have met have been in college, because they WANT to learn. I also can say most people who are my friends or whom I have met who do not go to college end up taking on a conspiracist thinking process (e.g. the Illuminati have been controlling the world since ancient Egypt). Or they bring on some thought process to themselves such as Ayn Rand (which is probably the most unintelligible political and economic philosophy ever). Working a job at a Capitalist job would be necessary to fund the revolution. Many people say they can find jobs where it doesn't hurt anyone, but they don't understand that every job under the Capitalist system somehow takes the rights of the people and tries to demolish them. I work at a fast food restaurant. My boss tells us if anyone tries to start a Union, we will be fired. But do you know what my money from that place goes to? I donate to Socialist movements. I supply local kids with tools to help vandalize rich people. Is this activity of me working at a fast food restaurant going to help the revolution? If my money is going towards it, then yes, it will.
Capitalism's resources must be diverted from itself and onto us. This can only happen when we use Capitalism and gain it's money. The working class is called the "working class" for a reason. They work under the Capitalist system to overthrow it, because we are the majority. You can place any number of requirements to overthrow the bourgeoisie, but one of those requirements must be to use the resources of Capitalism to overthrow itself.
