On all fronts

I think now, having undergone a somewhat exhilarating metamorphosis in my political views, that the proponents of socialism should advance on all fronts towards it. Meaning that they should take each route available and regularly come together to see, compare and review the various techniques and ways with each other so that a democratic process would draw the most people to the most successful routes that result in the most stable forms of socialism.

The routes to socialism:

1. Reformist, the democratic route
2. Revolutionary, the vanguard's route
1. Exported/foreign funded socialism
2. Domestically originating socialism
3. Grassroots expansion of cooperative communities towards a sustainable and independent route
   While Marx downplays this route, "small-scale socialistic communities would be bound to marginalisation and poverty."  Why would large scale enterprises work? What would happen to a summation of the smaller communities if they would take up the whole society in a state?
4. Exodus and creating a community in an established socialist country
5. Technological revolution can make it affordable for the majority class to own and operate the means of production so blurring the line between the owners and the producers
6. Philanthropist, the charitable route

The revolutionary route seems doubtful, I believe that this would create a foundation for a bickering elite running the country possibly in a centralised manner and not form a stable, politically sustainable state. It would be based on coercion quite the same as capitalist societies.

While there has been no success overall towards a permanent revolution, the combination of all methods may form a wider road towards freedom from the shackles of capital.
