The way to win is, first, AIM to win: build a movement that knows what it MEANS to win, so that it can explain to the general public what it is FOR, and how this is totally different from Communism and how it can really make things much better despite all the lies to the contrary in the ruling class propaganda.

What DOES it Mean to Win?

Egalitarianism is what it means to win. Egalitarianism is about a) making the economy one based on equality as described introductorily at https://www.pdrboston.org/what-is-an-egalitarian-economy and b) making the government genuinely democratic as described introductorily at https://www.pdrboston.org/genuine-democracy-what-is-it . Egalitarianism is how to prevent class inequality so that ordinary people are no longer treated like dirt and always losing in a struggle against a ruling upper class.

Perhaps, dear reader, you have a different idea about what it means to win. Fine. Express it! Don't keep it a secret. We need a massive conversation--of millions of people--about what it means to win. Until now that conversation has been suppressed by our fear that if we say publicly what we think it means to really win then the general public will reject us as crazy or stupid.

We have to see that this fear of the general public is based on a Big Lie about the public that the ruling class has worked very hard to make us believe. Indeed, spreading this Big Lie about the public being opposed to egalitarian revolution is the #1 strategy of the ruling class for staying in power. It knows that it matters not if people hate the ruling class; what matters is that people think that it is futile to try to remove the ruling class from power (because only a hopelessly tiny and hence impotent minority even wants to do that.)

As long as people with egalitarian revolutionary aspirations are convinced they are a hopelessly small minority, they won't even try to remove the rich from power. This is exactly what the ruling class counts on. And as long as the ruling class keeps us convinced of this Big Lie, we will remain on the treadmill of defeat, losing and losing and losing. It's time to change and start winning! When we do this, we will actually be able to remove the rich from power, the way that is described at https://www.pdrboston.org/how-we-can-remove-the-rich-from-power .
