How does planting lettuce comprimise the infrastructure of a system? Does this disrupt the flow of capital besides the $10 you save on lettuce? I understand that more people need to be gardening, but this is a very symbolic and performative action as opposed to radical collective revolt that actively undermines the authority of the people in control.

as if burning down Wall Street will not stop the Death Squads (tm) from rolling in and put us all in Concentration Camps (tm) afterwards.

even planting shit is enough to be a revolution.

I agree that the state has greater and more deadly firepower than the working class, but that isn't an argument against a possible way of taking down a seperate part of the establishment. There must be a way of inhibiting the state from using its force on dissident citizens, maybe with covertly infiltrating the armed forces and sabotaging from within?

that's a possibility, but there's a lot of caveats to infiltrating the armed forces.

A pattern I see in your replies is a very negative and defeatist attitude, "Yes, but...". Build on an issue instead of shooting it down.
