I agree. Once the majority votes in a new form of ownership and management based on cooperative economic democracy, once that change is made (probably by voting in one representative in at time, elected thru our regular election process but from a totally new party whose platform calls for the new society to be brought into being)once the majorities' consciousness has changed, the police and military, part of that change or closely associated, will support the vote and the mandate.
We can't 'foresee' whether it will be a peaceful change, but a democratic majoritywould certainly support the idea it would be.
So the REAL question is, when will a movement be
begun to CREATE THAT NEW PARTY? Thats our real job, not to crystal-ball gaze & lay out all the reasons it 'won't work'. The real hard job is to begin a unified movement to ensure it will!
