I'm looking for specific suggestions of what I can do to find a group that I can join for the purpose of building a real revolution inside the USA. I'm trying and finding it very difficult. The closest was PSL but honestly my local branch seems kind of limp. That and I'm not academically inclined enough to get through Capital.

The best way is to be a charismatic leader who draws people to your cause.

Revolutions aren't started by people joining groups and building committees. They are started through cults of personality (for a person or a thing).

    We’re downvoting because we’re historical materialists, and no political tendency more closely studies history than we do. We know that you and virtually all liberals are fundamentally wrong about what drives history.

    History is not predominantly shaped by charismatic leaders. That is ahistorical, idealist Great Man theory. History is predominantly shaped by the material conditions and from the bottom up, from which leaders arise, and their ideas don’t spring from their galaxy brains but from the conditions of the historical moment they happen find themselves in.
