Being an evil person to get rid of evil just makes another evil person, you can believe you are good until you die but can you believe the person who comes after you will be?
MLK jr and Gandhi bettered life for their people without violence
No oppressed person ever got their rights by appealing to the morality of their oppressor.
Both these movements would have failed if there wasn’t a violent component demonstrating the alternative if they didn’t choose the more peaceful route.
It’s important to note that King didn’t unilaterally condemn violence, he acknowledged that they were a response to a greater, ongoing injustice, and that the white moderates who pretended to agree with their aims, but opposed them because of their methods were as much if not a greater barrier to civil rights than the klanman.
left wingers have zero respect for laws and will make the world better and fairer by any means necessary.
as a leftist if I somehow got control of the state I would immediately order for the rounding up and execution of every single person in the country who is either a corporate executive for a top-250 corporation or in possession of assets worth 100 million or more.
because that would be the most efficient way of rapidly reducing the risk of the wealthy wresting back control.
and it would be totally ethical
as for gandhi and MLK, well, india is a fascist dictatorship and, well, how are things looking for black people in the US?
Not to bat for the disgustingly wealthy, but at the point Leftists have had a successful revolution, we don’t need to execute them outright, just lift their assets and jail them if they resist, or execute if they go on to become terrorists. Learn from successful revolutions, when the Cuban revolution succeeded Castro was actually very lenient in comparison to Batista.
Revolution is bloody, and we won’t make excuses, but at a certain point it risks dogmatism. Billionaires aren’t like Minecraft characters that drop their inventories on death, revolution is actually very sensible because it’s a lot easier to sieze their assets when the working class has control.
don’t get me wrong, if the choice for a non-violent revolution is there, i would take it every time.
but if, somehow, i magically became the president without any kind of revolutionary effort, that’s what i would do, and i would be totally justified in doing so
I am not advocating against revolution, I’m a Communist. If you became president of the US without revolution, you would not be able to execute any Capitalist you wanted, that’s more what I am saying. Temper your dogmatism with pragmatism, read theory and study past successful revolutions, such as in the USSR, China, Cuba, Algeria, etc.
Random executions doesn’t transfer political power, adventurism was debunked back when the SRs failed to lead the Russian Revolution. Execution is a tool with its own use, but it isn’t the best tool in all situations.
The former Soviet Union was Socialist, and so is the PRC. They haven’t reached Communism, but they are examples of Socialism if you count Marxism as Socialist. What makes you say they weren’t? Most people would disagree with you, especially Marxists, so I’m not sure what your stance is.
i would completely dismantle the economy, the police force, the military, prisons, and the government. i would cease the recognition of all countries and borders.
but yes you’re right, i’m willing to use violence to make the world a better place, because i believe that i’m right, and i’m not scared of sacrificing all that i have and all that i am to achieve that.
i wouldn’t be able to peacefully retire, of course, i would need to be brought to justice for my crimes, but i would gladly accept the punishment, because it’s the right thing to do, and i know i would reduce the suffering of billions.
You’re not going to find a good person who puts following rules written to benefit the capitalist class above freeing people from crippling debt.
Maybe you should hang around left wingers more

If you want more context on how the two method supported each other in the civil rights movement, here’s a good book.

uhhh, maybe you should?

yeah, the USSR and China are not examples of successful revolutions, neither of those countries are communist
The former Soviet Union was Socialist, and so is the PRC. They haven’t reached Communism, but they are examples of Socialism if you count Marxism as Socialist. What makes you say they weren’t? Most people would disagree with you, especially Marxists, so I’m not sure what your stance is.
any marxist who thinks that the USSR or China is an example of a successful revolution is either ignorant, delusional, or worst of all, a tankie.
they had some early successes but were immediately co-opted. motherfuckers need to learn about permenent revolution.
now neither country is socialist, both are imperialist and well on their way towards fascism
You definitely aren’t a leftist
Shhhh… Everyone be quiet, the King of the Leftists is speaking!
yes, i am. i know how horribly evil capitalism is and i would gladly make that sacrifice.
The sacrifice of being a fascist is definitely left wing
yeah you’re not a leftist, you have no fucking idea what fascism is if you think what i wrote was fascistic, lmfao
violence against oppressors isn’t fascism, it’s justice.
Let’s play spot the difference
-Every fascist
-you
i would completely dismantle the economy, the police force, the military, prisons, and the government. i would cease the recognition of all countries and borders.
