In What is to be Done, Lenin wrote that “Revolutionary theory is not a dogma, but assumes final shape only in close connection with the practical activity of a truly mass and truly revolutionary movement.” This is crucial for communists in the United States to understand.
I believe you're absolutely right. A revolution is just the beginning and a lot of work is required after that, which means we (revolutionary communists) will have to solve contradictions from a rational, scientific, materialist point of view. It's an attractive idea to have everything right away, which we can't, and that discourages some would-be revolutionaries. The hardest part of establishing socialism comes directly after a revolution, which is to be expected. We will need support from the masses and a disciplined Party, so that reactionaries can be dealt with swiftly and opportunists can be weeded out.
This "Settler" talk is a lose-lose divisive topic that plays right into the hands of the anti-communist state apparatus. Focus on the material reality of workers today, not some past injustice from 50 or 200 years ago.
J. Sakai is most likely a left-adventurist from the days of Weather Underground. Very much rooted in the New Left, and 21st century Marxists should want nothing to do with that childishness.
