I'd like to hear opinions from any comrades with any opinions or articles on revolutionary socialism.

I think almost everyone here is a revolutionary socialist of some sort or another. I'm an anarcho-communist, which is a type of revolutionary socialism. So most of us have a positive opinion of it.

There's different forms of revolutionary socialism, and I read on wikipedia that it's some sort of sub-form of socialism.

I posted these messages at another site but upon the same subject:

The basis of revolutionary socialism is proletarian insurrection. Depending upon the development of a country’s means of production revolutionary socialism may or may not necessitate a union of urban and rural proletarians with poor peasants. The ‘justification’ for the use of violence is historical, not moral. Non-insurrectionary measures can achieve significant changes in the means of production, but all radical changes in the mode of production are necessarily ‘violent’.

Essentially, “[t]he suppression of the bourgeois state by the proletarian state is impossible without a violent revolution. The abolition of the proletarian state, i.e., of the state in general, is impossible except through the process of ‘withering away’.”
