The need for a tightly organized party structure

The importance of the revolutionary dynamic.  In all of the revolutions which have taken place thus far there are always a number of important factors which contribute to the success of the overthrow of the prior regime.

1)  The existing regime must be weak or at least fragmented.

2) There must be an organization to replace the existing state organization.  Co-opting the existing organization will lead to an end to the revolution. Slowly.

3) There must be a broad societal basis to the revolution.  For example a substantial issue which acts as a unifying point for non-homogenous groups to organize around.

4) The role of outside actors must either be neutralized or obviated.  If they are not then the revolution simply becomes a form of conquest or invasion or coersion by an outside party.
