Summary of ideal Revolution

[Rosso]

Socialism is a ideology with great ideals, ideals that rose up the people for example in Cuba in the 50's. Now this happened a lot of years back and I was wondering if someone could give me a brief summary of how a Socialist revolution would develop in a wealthy country like mine, the Netherlands. Or can we state that only world revolution is the possible way? Please help me out :)

It depends on a lot of factors and honestly I don't think we can have any blueprint for revolution. Revolution depends on a lot of factors, strength of the workers movement, strength of the state, international situation etc. etc.
I think it is clear that a revolution in a "wealthy country" like the Netherlands cannot be just a revolution in the Netherlands, such a revolution would have to be at least continental. However it is hard to imagine a continental movement when there is none in the Netherlands, and even harder to predict how a future movement would work in a revolutionary situation.

I agree with Judas' point that any revolution needs to be continental in scope, at the very least. It is rather easy to predict how a nationally isolated revolution would fail (http://www.revleft.com/vb/blog.php?b=18836). This is incidentally why the EU is a rather important question and the far left responds mostly in an immature manner in that we need to leave the EU as it is a "bosses club" (the member states aren't?) but at the same time strive for a "federation of socialist states" (How if you just left any hope for continental-wide coordination? We can only guess). A more logical stance would be an extension of our fight for democracy on the national front, toward the EU.
