I usually meticulously read through all the posts on a thread before I post on it, but in this case I cannot be bothered.
As an Absurdist, and a situationist, and what our Turkish friend would describe as a mere hedonist, I have to say politics us just an excuse not to do something. I did not need a revolution, or to force onto people a way of thinking that would stop them from organising themselves in this or that way. No I just chose to live the way I wanted, sure this or that might impose itself on me, but it is surprising how much can be circumvented.
When I was a teenager there were what we called 'Monkhams avenue Marxists' the rich kids who thought when the revolution comes we can all have yellow sports cars.
What do I need a revolution for? What would your revolution give me? I have all the liberty I wanted, and I did that by just living it. You could have the same, but you don't want to tip your toes in the water so you invent the excuse of needing a revolution.
