I can read between the lines, OP.

Bookchin was explicitly against academia. They made sure to differentiate between intellectuals and academics. The base of Bookchin's political strategy is the formation of study groups, and subsequently the formation of an intelligentsia.

INTELLIGENTSIA AND THE NEW INTELLECTUALS:

Meh. The DHCP is not really all that relevant a threat to Turkey in the bigger scale of things, a few attacks here and there not withstanding.

How can one man be so based

I'd worry more about militias tbhfam

That's only one concern of the revolution. But we wouldn't even know that unless we studied revolutionary theory and history.

"

Power is also a solid and tangible fact to be reckoned with militarily, notably in the ubiquitous truth that the power of the state or the people eventually reposes in force. Whether the state has power ultimately depends upon whether it exercises a monopoly of violence. By the same token, whether the people have power ultimately depend upon whether they are armed and create their own grassroots militia, to guard not only themselves from criminals or invaders but their own power and freedom from the ever-encroaching power of the state itself. Here, too, the Athenian, British, and American yeomen knew only too well that a professional military was a threat to liberty and the state was a vehicle for disarming the people.

A true civicism that tries to create a genuine politics, an empowered citizenry, and a municipalized economy would be a vulnerable project indeed if it failed to replace the police and the professional army with a popular militia–more specifically, a civic guard, composed of rotating patrols for police purposes and well-trained citizen military contingents for dealing with external dangers to freedom. Greek democracy would never have survived the repeated assaults of the Greek aristocracy without its militia of citizen hoplites, those foot soldiers who could answer the call to arms with their own weapons and elected commanders. The tragic history of the state's ascendancy over free municipalities, even the rise of oligarchy within free cities of the past, is the story of armed professionals who commandeered power from unarmed peoples or disarmed them presumably (as so many liberals would have it today) from the "hazards" of domestic and neighborhood "shootouts." Typically, this is the cowboy or "gunslinger" image of the "American Dream," often cynically imposed on its more traditional yeoman face." - Bookchin

By not wasting time making friends with undercover agents while discussing a tiny subset of philosophy and economics.
Change must be systematic. Starting a book club is about as revolutionary as refusing to buy the latest iPhone.

You are limited in the actions you can do as an individual, and capitalism is a vast, complicated machine. You have to pull the right levers in the right way to cause the machine to destroy itself. That means triggering feedback loops which amplify your strength rather than resist it. The hard part is figuring out exactly how to do it, and I suspect that everyone on this board is far too retarded to figure it out.

Even if someone did figure it out, the bourgeoisie spend loads of money getting people to try to think of the same thing to stop people like us.

Lmao. If only a couple more pasty nerds read 18th century tomes together capitalism could be abolished!
