What in god's name would a "revolution" in the U.S. look like? The masses storming the White House and the floor of the NYSE?

Charles: I could see these actions as a necessary dramatic and semiotic dimension of the insurrection because of the symbolism of these geographical centers of power. But the whole revolution is not mainly storming, rather a protracted process of radical deconstruction and reconstruction throughout the land. The boredom of the revolutionary mundane might be more of a threat than its danger , at certain times. We still need cost accounting in the revolution and communism.
