by looking at who creates surplus value and who *appropriates* it . at the end of the day, i don't think judges and cops are going side with revolutionaries.

i think whether or not the military will be sympathetic to communist revolution depends on whether they are conscripted forces (because they're more democratic than volunteer ones) and on how successful communists have been at reaching out to them.
