I wouldn't call the Revolution truly won at that point, I believe that the Revolution could only truly be considered wholly won if full postmodern consciousness has been achieved in all parts of the world. By this, I mean full education and implementation of policies involving class, race, gender, sexuality, ability, and scientific consciousness. In short, a complete upheaval of centuries of bourgeoisie and reactionary contamination across the world, International Revolution. If there are still Capitalists, then the Revolution's goals have not been achieved. The issue would need to be rectified, one way or another.

In a sense, it is a contradiction to say that there is such a thing as peaceful rebellion for a Capitalist, because they are advocating for an ideology that is fundamentally violent, fundamentally harmful. It does not matter if they are shooting people in the streets or passing around pamphlets, both are violent actions. It is merely a question of the varying severity of violence. By making attempts to reinstate a violent system, they are perpetrators of violence. Therefore, it does not change how I would deal with them. It is very important that we never go back to the days of wage slavery and racism, and I am willing to use any means at my disposal to preserve the Revolution and advance it.

I've actually thought of this at length, how I would deal with counterrevolutionary elements after the Vanguard has achieved enough power to begin bringing about full postmodern consciousness. In the first phases, it would be fairly easy to deal with counterrevolutionary elements since there will be plenty of blatant counterrevolutionary paramilitaries still lurking around, they can be eliminated using a mix conventional and counterinsurgency methods. This would be the most straightforward, and perhaps the least morally grey phases of defending the Revolution. It would also be a time of asserting the Vanguard's legitimacy and willingness to defend its authority and defend the proletariat from counterrevolution.

However, as OP mentioned, there would still be plenty of counterrevolutionaries who hide it better, or choose, "Safer" means of opposition. Still, there are obviously factors that would make someone more likely to be a counterrevolutionary than others, such as being white, such as being or associating with former land owners, former law enforcement, former military of the old regime who chose not to fight with the proletariat. My personal policy is that the burden of proof will lay on them to show loyalty to the Vanguard and to the principles of the pursuit of the postmodern, or they will face purging, sentencing to labor camps, etc.

Yes, it is a very harsh policy, I acknowledge that, but it is beneficial in the end. Attempts at Revolution that were afraid to use violence have historically failed. It's either the loss of those who would harm others, or the loss of many more who are Revolutionaries, who could live to see postmodern consciousness emerge, who will birth the next generations who will experience even more victories and even more prosperity. It is important that no one have to live under the tyranny of bourgeoisie or reactionary influences.

I acknowledge that it would be difficult to truly root out every counterrevolutionary, but I have given thought to that as well. This is part of the reason why I advocate for totalitarianism to some extent when it comes to defending the Revolution and establishing postmodern consciousness. There is certainly a risk of the Vanguard becoming degenerated, but I of course have developed countermeasures against even that, which is a story for another time. Totalitarianism, like many things, is a tool, a means to and end.

Arguably, totalitarianism is a very risky means to an end, and a morally ambiguous one. However, totalitarianism would perhaps be the most effective way of prevent a counterrevolutionary Blanquist scenario from arising, a counterrevolutionary Deep State, if you will. Surveillance, social engineering, psychotronics, mental orthodoxy, etc. will be, obviously temporary measures to root out any remaining conspirators, hopefully. I would like to go more into detail, but I don't want to digress too far.

Education will be what eventually allows these Orwellian measures to truly be temporary, and that's a promise by the way, I have no intentions of locking the proletariat into a controlled environment for longer than is necessary. Education will be the main tool, education of all people in not only academic pursuits, but in the horrors of the times before. The rhetorical and mental destruction of all oppressive institutions and concepts from the next generations; education on the perils of whiteness, of sexism, of the gender binary, of the class system, etc.

The totalitarianism part would go hand in hand with this here, social engineering. People will be encouraged to race mix, to form their own nontraditional identities involving their gender, sexuality, and other aspects. In a few generations, there would no need for totalitarianism due to the complete deconstruction, and the arrival of the postmodern consciousness. New generations would further the cause of the Vanguard elsewhere.

In conclusion, that would be how I will deal with these quote on quote, "Peaceful rebels." Some may consider my methods deeply Orwellian, deeply Draconian, but I assert that they will no doubt still be effective. It is important that we consider the bigger picture, don't be someone who can't see the forest for the trees. Remember, there is a world to win, a grand cause that ascends any other consideration. I leave you with that, comrades, enemies, and future comrades.
