Eggs also have to be laid and many have to be protected and nurtured. An egg hatching alone is just a meal for a predator.
The boot of the fascists is coming down before anyone even has a chance to form any real movement. This is no different than boomers telling kids to “pull themselves up by their bootstraps” or saying to refugees " they should just fight to make their own country better."
It’s easy to write a fun little proverb and tell people, with no community, no coordination, with any attempt at coordinating an invitation to get murdered by fascists, to “just do a revolution.” With what? With who? Most communists in the US are on in a single city while surrounded with psychopaths that literally fantasize about torturing communists to death.
The core argument that you can’t impose communism from outside is solid. The drive ultimately has to come from within, but I completely agree that nascent movements do need support to flourish.
