Yes, but that condition also tells us that capturing the main political
institutions - government, the army, police, mass media etc.  - is a
condition sine qua non of any successful movement.  Trying to cobble a
revolution in somebody basement or a garage looks very amateurish abd
cannot be taken seriously.
