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
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.
The vast majority of Marxists globally are either “ignorant, delusional, or worst of all, tankies” then. The idea that the Soviet Union wasn’t Socialist is an extremely fringe opinion among all of Marxists, typically limited to Trotskyists, themselves limited to Western Countries and devoid of any revolutions.
Oh, you mentioned Permanent Revolution. I take it you’re a Trotskyist, then? That explains your stance, but I really don’t see why Permanent Revolution is relevant in any way, the theoretical basis relied on the assumption of the Peasantry as incapable of being truly aligned with the Proletariat and thus eventually would become counter-revolutionary. This ended up being false, and Socialism stabilized in the USSR, Cuba, China, Vietnam, Laos, and more, effectively debunking its relevancy.
In China, the Trotskyists wished to martyr China by attacking the Kuomintang and the Japanese Imperialists both, rather than allying with the KMT before overthrowing them. Had the Trotskyists had their way, China would remain a colony.
Maybe you should hang around left wingers more

yeah, the USSR and China are not examples of successful revolutions, neither of those countries are communist

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

Today, the Russian Federation certainly is Capitalist and extremely Nationalist, but the PRC is still Socialist. I wrote a post on some common problems that some people run into when trying to determine Mode of Production. I also made an introductory Marxist-Leninist reading list, if you want to check it out. I think you’d benefit, especially since you took more of an adventurist route.
You definitely aren’t a leftist
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.
