Aufklärung allein macht noch keine Veränderung aus, wenn man sie nicht gepaart mit einem Konzept liefert wie es anders laufen könnte.

Throwing light on things on its own does't lead to make change happen, if you do not bring it up with some kind of concept that tries to lay down a better way.

As anything else the strategy is a key. And people are being fooled. You know yourself: lack of education and trust to government. Plus they always say: you don't want violence etc but they themselves are about to bring the world to rubble and it is ok. People don't see it this way. They have a little bit stability and sit and prefer to watch tv or eat or anything and pretend that somehow it will pass them personally by.

Activism is even dangerous sometimes and it is a paradox. People want to fix something and they fix it by putting a bandage on a big leak and now it is not visible anymore for a while but it will come back. I think the same about charities. They throw people some crumbs for them not to die but they are still living in poverty and indignantly. And that makes them complacent too.

About different fronts and tactics- agree.

Wait a second, so stage 2 is when you realize that something is wrong and stage 3 you know some solutions and stage 4 is communicating with others to interact with the strategy?

It will probably happen at the right time in history unless the world is destroyed by the time.

I am not saying you should wait I am just saying objectively the conditions should be right. History is an objective process and it is the main idea of materialism. It is a combination of waiting for the right conditions and working on the strategy so when it happens you are fully prepared and act.

Not lucky accidents but objective reality. Part of materialism. If you try to change something on your own when there is not objective prerequisite you will end up like Russian SRs at the end of the 19th century. Marx wrote about all of this. No need to reinvent the wheel. And Lenin successfully used his theory so this is what everyone should refer to.

In this case, I did get what you mean and I agree that it is a right strategy. Of course rightists get followers because they use lies and deceptions. And people like to be fooled. Because it is easier this way.

That is definitely true: we desperately need allies.

And even if you are not alone, the masses make history and still SRs would be a good example how things should not be done.
