Work and the revolution

I am still adapting to actually working on my feet for five days a week, it is uncomfortable and I don't really like it that much but hey, at least I am able to do it. I really wish bare concrete wasn't the cheapest possible floor though, my feet may never recover.

Real talk though, I think the honeymoon is over with the new gig, while I do feel I am getting compensated fairly for my work, I see problems that don't have a solution I am capable of providing, it must come from higher up and by talking with my coworkers, I am not sure those higher up even see that the issues are problems.

I can, and will, continue to complain about shit that happens at work, because the fact is that there are very few objectively "good" jobs out there, there are mostly jobs that are better than many others, but unless I get lucky and find one or the revolution comes I am at least content I guess.

Speaking of the revolution, I always wondered what form it could take in America of today, I mean it isn't like an armed insurrection has a chance of succeeding, and we are seeing right now how effective the system is at defeating insurgency from within, from the left anyhow. So assuming the proletariat, or whoever, wanted to avoid doing things like terrorist style attacks with massive casualties, how can the system be broken?

My best guess is the old "Seize the means of production" fallback. Now America doesn't produce like it once did, which makes this a bit easier as the producing is done in an increasingly centralized and robotic fashion, and many things are imported, this means that coordinated strikes of groups like farmers and dock workers combined with hacking attacks to shut down factories an such might be the only chance of success. The problem(like there is only one right?) Is sustaining them so they actually do damage and cause people to take notice, plus actually surviving until the regime changes, I mean it's all well and good to prevent goods and services from flowing, but the people actually need those goods and services to survive, so either a massive amount of stockpiling needs to happen, or the revolution better have it's own source of supplies as well as the mean to deliver them or things get pretty futile.

So it's probably a pipe dream for now, and will remain the subject of terrible fiction novels with names like The Gamma Imperative, it will have Tom Clancy's name on it, but actually not be written by him or anyone he technically even knows, it sells for 6.99 in airports and the one shelf at Safeway with books, and will somehow make millions.
