Ie this take sometimes but I don't know what the alternatives are. When you win your revolution, what system will you put in place?

ITT I've seen "random elections", and plenty of people saying "socialism", plus someone (I hope) is thinking "anarchism", but how is it managed? What takes the place of elections for public office?

OK, it's been about a week with no replies. I am starting to suspect that perhaps there is no plan.

The world and society have explicitly gotten far better since and because of the advent of serious representative democracy.

Democracy can and will work once a simple rule is implemented. Namely: no one who wants the power to rule should ever be allowed anywhere near power. Of course the rich won't allow such a law to be passed, and enforcing it is the stuff of thought crime dystopic nightmares, but I'm sure we can overcome those small issues.

I have never heard the word electoralism in real life.
