would this be wrong? Even possible?

I noticed a "few" of you here seem hooked on the possibility of revolution. Given the state of things and the anti-left propaganda, how will you expect the people to not run in fear, and inevitably start a reactionary movement? They are in fact materialist, would it be wrong to try to, persay, work out deals with foreign companies (assuming this is a socialist gov. in one country with an existing infrastructure from the cap. govt.) to provide goods and/or services in exchange for a place to escape the taxes and other duties that may come from staying in the "homeland".

EX. Lets say that because of the revolution, a few cmajor corps. go boom and just dissapear. One of these being cingular or whatever cell provider. The people want services but an inexperienced gov in cellular services, and those that do know are a buncha caps. trying to get rich so you ignore those.. Would it be wrong to work out a deal withoh sat DoMaCo And get them to get the network interface up and running with the latest tech. and since we still have all the towers cing left behind it would be not much of a trouble, assuming we give them a piece of land that we have found that is not useful (death valley or something along the lines). And since we do have people in the U.S. that know about cellular services, (i know a few phreaks would do it for fun) all they would need to do is just provide us with a free service and we take care of the rest, and they get to be exempt from taxes,kyoto protocols, blahblah at least until japan goes socialist, and then we will have joint venturing and in the spirit of fraternity we help each other out, people helping people..... but i just wanted to know if this would be even a feasible idea.....

the united states wont be ready for revolution, especially and armed one, for 80-100 years from now. unless there was some other cercumstance that they would be ready. for your example of the cell phone thing, part of the reason it will take so long is we must drop this consumerist mindset. we dont need cell phones. yes cell phones will still be around in communism, but, if they are gone for a short period i doubt anyone will die. and again, there is no government in communism.

I would say that doing so would be a "crack in the foundation" so-to-speak.

What the benefits would get you is a faster upstart of cell phone service. However, you may run the risk of turning that company into an exploitation factory (like all capitalist ventures).

In the end, its best to be completely self-sufficient. That way, there are no big compromises, or debts needing to be paid. That's why you can't run into revolution blindly.
