I think this question should never be asked, even privately inside one's own head, except when at least fragments of an answer to it have already begun to appear _in practice_. Tossed out in the abstract like this, in abstraction from ongoing practice, it tends to encourage every ism in the encyclopedia of revolutionary error.
Perhaps a really major lesson to be learned from WITBD is that he wrote it in 1902, not 1896. It would have been fatuous then, as a similar work -- i.e., an answer to your question -- would be fatuous now.
