Dear Sabri,

What we need to 'do now', it seems to me, is to understand
how to expedite the revolutionary process.

Over half of the U.S. population, I would guess, have no
interest in a revolution that calls itself 'socialist'. 
Overcoming capitalism requires better buy-in than that.  I
think we need a different banner line, without sacrificing
essential goals.  

What are the essential goals and characteristics of a
'socialist revolution'?  (In ordinary language).
