Some Thoughts on the Stages and Targets of Violent Revolution

The selection of targets in a violent revolution has clear judgment methods and priority ranking: the highest priority is the actual decision-makers, followed by front-line executors, and then other auxiliary supporters. Such a distinction is made to have different focuses at different stages, thereby forming a struggle path that progresses step by step from shallow to deep.

The goal of the first stage is to open a breach. Top decision-makers have the strictest security and are difficult to reach initially; auxiliary supporters have too low a priority and limited utility. The most suitable targets are the CCP lackeys who suppress the people on the front lines—public security, national security, armed police, and backbone militias. These people are direct thugs, and the masses hate them the most. Dealing with them can both establish authority and quickly break the atmosphere of fear. This is the essence of the Bangladesh model.

The goal of the second stage is to rapidly disintegrate the CCP's control network, complete the transformation of strength, and establish a dominant position. In addition to increasing strikes against informants and local agents, one must also strike at those stubborn grassroots government employees, community cadres, and grid workers. They are the tentacles of the system at the social periphery, maintaining daily monitoring and oppression. If this layer of network is not uprooted, it will be difficult for the masses to truly shake off fear, and revolutionary forces will struggle to gain a foothold at the grassroots level. Liquidating them means cutting off the nervous system of the dictatorship, causing the regime to lose control at the broadest level. (Note: Grassroots personnel who actively surrender and turn to the revolution should be treated leniently to avoid the escalation of violence.)

The goal of the third stage is to decide the outcome. At this time, the spearhead of the revolution must be directed at the high-level decision-making group. Those who truly maintain the dictatorship are those who hold central power; without touching them, one will only fall into a protracted war of attrition. Liquidating them is the only way to thoroughly destroy the foundation of the dictatorship, cause the ruling machine to disintegrate as a whole, and truly achieve a transfer of power.

After victory, one must enter the aftermath stage. Not everyone within the system is an active accomplice; many only submitted out of forced survival. Strictly liquidate those who actively committed evil, and treat those who cooperated under duress with leniency. Only in this way can the revolution be prevented from falling into an endless cycle of revenge, and space be left for the establishment of a new order.

In general, the selection of targets in revolutionary struggle must unfold in an orderly manner: the first stage, strike the thugs and rip open a breach; the second stage, destroy the peripheral network and rapidly seize the advantage; the third stage, strike the center directly and decide the outcome; finally, treat them differently, both severely punishing stubborn enemies and integrating society.
