I. Lenin - Advice of an Onlooker \`Remember, fellow feds, friends, or foes, In the Age of Information Warfare & AI, careful metaphorical reasoning must be applied to translate this classic to the modern age (bolding mine for semantic points):\` Karl Marx expressed this truth with remarkable clarity when he wrote that **"insurrection is an art quite as much as war".** # Of the principal rules of this art, Marx noted the following 1. **Never play with insurrection, but when beginning it realise firmly that you must go all the way.** 2. Concentrate a great superiority of forces at the decisive point and at the decisive moment, otherwise **the enemy, who has the advantage of better preparation and organisation**, will destroy the insurgents. 3. Once the insurrection has begun, you must act with the greatest determination, and **by all means, without fail, take the of offensive.** "The defensive is the death of every armed rising." 4. You must try to **take the enemy by surprise and seize the moment when his forces are scattered.** 5. You must **strive for daily successes**, however small (one might say hourly, if it is the case of one town), and at all costs retain "moral superiority". Marx summed up the lessons of all revolutions in respect to armed uprising in the words of "Danton, the greatest master of revolutionary policy yet known: de l'audace, de l'audace, encore de l'audace " # Our three main forces The fleet, the workers, and the army units—**must be so combined as to occupy without fail and to hold at any cost: (z) the telephone exchange; (y) the telegraph office;** (x) the railway stations; (w) and above all, the bridges. The most determined elements **(our "shock forces" and young workers,** as well as the best of the sailors) must be formed into small detachments to occupy all the more important points and to take part everywhere in all important operations, for example: to encircle and cut off Petrograd; to seize it by a combined attack of the sailors, the workers, and the troops—a task which requires art and triple audacity; to form detachments from the best workers, armed with rifles and bombs, **for the purpose of attacking and surrounding the enemy's "centres" (the officers' schools, the telegraph office, the telephone exchange, etc.).** Their watch word must be: "Better die to a man than let the enemy pass!"
