Well, thank you for the informational rundown. So far as I can tell the “how” of a “progressive” or “leftist” political change boils down to:

• learn about worker oppression
• join a socialist organization
• seize the means of production / seize weapons
• implement revolution

Is that the right takeaway?

I think I’m going to stick with the American democratic process of voting for leaders, but it sounds interesting if a little undefined.
