Actually, yes, yes, and no. :- But sort of Yes.
That's what the Third Thesis on Feuerbach is about essentially. Some kine of revolutionary activity, if only at a superficial level, has to initiate the process.
Despite its profound difference from the conditions we confront, _Fanshen_ is still the best 'imaging' of this process (and its painful fits & starts, advances & retreats) that I know of.
I don't think one can generalize or abstract from _Fanshen_ (or from other accounts of "Third World" revolutionary activity) in a way to provide any very focused principles that cut across cultural lines, but it can still help with imagining the general possibility of change (and its extreme difficulty).
