pro tip for other leftists: anyone actively hungering on bluesky for violence & war is either delusional, a fed, or both.
in history, even relatively successful leftist revolutions only happened after the ruling class rejected multiple attempts by the working class to reform their conditions.
Any revolution through violence is extremely unlikely to result in a more humane and peaceful society, even if successful and with good intentions at the outset.
The ruling class will always have less direct connection to supply logistics and manual operations, but also geographically and in terms of physical capacity. Rich people usually aren't built for manual labor lol. People just need to stop not caring anymore or everyone is actually fucked.
Do you mean MORE violence and war? Because we have plenty of those things already. It's a feature of bourgeois democracy. It's just that the violence is directed at those the state-- and all it's attendant institutions, deem undesirable.
People also don't talk about how there needs to be a genuine breakdown in state legitimacy or the state's ability to mobilize and deploy force or usually both. As long as the cops and the army are reasonably well organized and aligned with the ruling powers extreme repression remains a reality
there is a distinct difference between "we're angry and willing to fight and use violence if necessary to defend our lives" and "we're angry and going to go commit violent crimes so they see the error of their ways"
I donβt typically take those kind of posts seriously. Anyone actually thinking about doing revolutionary shit ainβt talking about it on Social Media
Seems to me, a lot of leftists, particularly white American leftists, have a weird obsession with the vague concept of revolutions while knowing very little about any specifics.
