There are 2 parts when it comes to changing the system:

  1. People's consciousness needs to be aware on the necessity of the change in the system.
  2. Actual revolution.

Saying statements that call to action may not be doing 2 but they still help with 1

Even those 2 parts are usually not enough.

If you look at 2 red years in Italy or the worker uprisings in Germany shortly before Nazis got in, there was plenty of revolutionary class consciousness with factories being taken over and constant gunfights, but there was no one to lead them making them an easy target for the military.
