who here supports urban conspiracy/insurrection as a valid tactic, hypotheticly, of course.

where i'm coming from is the numerous antibritish conspiracies/insurrections promoted by the fenians and IRB which apparently WORKED. from 1798 to 1916 they would conspire, rebel, get crushed, go back underground and wait twenty years till the times looked favorable, then try it again, and always these insurrections had propaganda value. the same group of people tried over and over, until it worked. they got a good part of what they wanted, irish independance from britain.

you're a trotskyist. I wouldn't expect most to say yes. but what about the bolivian and argentine revolutionary worker's parties back in the day, trotskyist, which supported and used urban and countryside guerrilla warfare? what about hugo chavez' attempt at coupdetat, or come to think of it the bolshevik coupdetat (which if i understand it right, occured against a backdrop of support for such a thing among workers in petrograd, but was not organized by these, was organized by bolsheviks who gauged the amount of popular support and decided that forcefully dissolving the provisional government would give the workers on the streets just the sort of push they needed, but could not quite provide themselves without the bolshevik party?)
I'm not a blanquist, i lean more towards anarchism, but i feel that even such a tactic as this could be used by anarchists- as long as the members of a SUCCESFUL insurrection (when it came) refused to take political power themselves, only preventing others from doing so.

and blanqui was the shit. he spent like a third of his life in prison for what he believed.
