“We are gonna fucking kill all the bad guys and we'll be able to blow up the big..uh...the Death Star thing, then you can go live happily ever after on the planet of the teddy bears”.

[Art Vandelay]

Let every dirty, lousy tramp arm himself with a revolver or a knife, and lay in wait on the steps of the palaces of the rich and stab or shoot the owners as they come out. Let us kill them without mercy, and let it be a war of extermination. - Lucy Parsons.

Using a right to left motion sweep your right leg across the southern states. At the same time, with both hands, push through(this is important. You don't want to stop pushing once you make contact) the mid-west and rust belt states. The country will be unable to keep a firm footing due to the leg swing and forward pressure.
Practice on smaller countries first like Panama and Grenada. I heard that this can work.
Warning! If his girlfriend Britany is nearby this could get all Jersey Shore and shit. The sun never sets on stupidity.

Organization of the class-conscious proletariat to form the spearhead of the movement. That seems like a good place to start.

[Yuppie Grinder]

Why does everyone think they are comedians all of a sudden? Might of been a bit of a silly question, but give the guy a break.

Oh my! Is there a storm coming this fine Sunday? Oh Marie3L, once you were the voice of reason that scolded me. My how things have changed.

There's a storm coming, Mr. Wayne. You and your friends better batten down the hatches, because when it hits, you're all gonna wonder how you ever thought you could live so large and leave so little for the rest of us.

Lets stay on topic here folks. I think I gave a pretty good descrption on how to bring pretty much anything to its knees. Now with all these horrible posts I'm down on one knee.
And I didn't even see it coming!

They may be our only hope.

[Art Vandelay]

How on earth is the black bloc going to bring the system to its knees? I mean it's an okay tactic for certain situations, but hasn't even been used properly. Broken windows won't bring the system to its knees; they should be organizing looting ands redistribution in poorer neighborhoods but they haven't seemed smart enough to figure that out yet.

Our only hope? Give me a break.

[ComradeOm]

At the risk of being serious for a moment, a silly answer suggests the existence of a silly question. There is no one tactic that will break the system; not rants on RevLeft and not black hoodies. Tactics are nothing but a variety of different approaches that we use depending on the circumstances

That and forklifts

Contemplative retreat and running for the hills...

Reading Agamben in a small town in the middle of nowhere while tending to veggie gardens.

Listening to the sounds of a nearby brook while petting my pet doe(a deer, a female deer). Maybe painting it as well.

Suggestions anyone?

There's no formula, and the effectivness of tactics are inherently flexible and conditional.

Look at Egypt. Which tactics brought that regime to it's knees for a while? Mass public protests? Street-fighting? Strike wave?

The answer is D: all of the above.

Without the mass protest, there wouldn't have been the political space and class confidence for the strikes, without the street-fighting the police and pro-regime thugs would have crushed the mass protest, without the major strikes there wouldn't have been the material pressure on the regime to force them to bend.

In other places it might look differently, but tactics need to be seen as flexible IMO.

You, sir, are on to something.

Spend long hours online.
Read Marx (the most important thing you can do in the heat of battle is spout quotes from Marx)
Post on the internet lots.
Listen to the red army choir and sharpen up your fake Russian accent.

Or if you're serious, write up some flyers and print a few bajillion copies off at your local unmonitored copy machine.
Join a pary / organization / Stalin fetishist group.
Spout communism out the wazzoo to any disgruntled workers. Start with vague anti-capitalist observations (liberals eat that stuff up) and then move on to how you're oh so disgruntled with liberalism.

Hardly anybody posted a serious response. Keep your jokes to the non-serious forums plz!

OP: this is really the seminal question isn't it? and I don't have an answer, at least not a full one.

I am partial to organizing with comrades to begin building post-capitalist apparatus right now, finding ways for folks to not have to engage with capitalism so they can focus on organizing. This means growing food, cooking it and sharing it, etc.

in terms of bringing the system to its knees, if opBART taught me anything, attacking transportation infrastructure does the job nicely.

Reading Agamben in a small town in the middle of nowhere while tending to veggie gardens. Armchair anarchism without the guilt of living at home

[LordAcheron]

considering the fact that pretty much every politician is a whore, we could just pay them to fuck off.

considering the fact that pretty much every politician is a whore, we could just pay them to fuck off.That seems like a good offer to make to a whore...

Magic EMP linked to a satellite orbiting planet earth transmitting a powerful dampening field. At the same time begin to infiltrate the various militia groups that arise to curb the chaos. Finally, turn on the power in one location right when you are most able to steamroll the continent. Swear to Commie God, NBC's Revolution took my plan for world dominance.
