what do you think about communization? in the 21st century, can communist social relations and structures which facilitate them be built during the pre-revolutionary period and concurrently with the revolutionary process itself (NOT as reforms to the existing system, but operating as divorced from it as possible), or should seizing power and immediately establishing a dictatorship of the proletariat be the first priority?
im not against it, but it seems a bit futile, like building a sandcastle. i think if it gains too much traction, it's just going to be persecuted and bulldozed away by the capitalist state. some specific forms of it are probably set up in a way that can more or less resist this (like copyleft / free software, but that's also quite narrow in scope and not necessarily inherently socialist)
