The entire history of capitalist democracy has shown that it's not only incapable of helping the working people, but it's actively against helping them. My life experience and studying the economic histories of many countries convinced me that revolution is the only solution. Capitalism won't stop the fascist Republicans. Capitalism makes fascism. Working class revolution and a complete forceful overthrow of capitalism and the replacement of a socialist state is the only thing that will save us.

@Radical_EgoCom Yeah but we have to take care of the immigrant-problem. And workers and women have too much rights and there's homosexuals everywhere nowadays. Fascist will fix those problems.

@Radical_EgoCom I think, if we do it right, the revolution won't require force at all...We just make them obsolete.By the time they think to marshall their forces, we'll have converted all their soldiers to our cause and community. ...In the words of the Taoist sage Lao Tzu,"If it don't t fit, don't force it."

@TessRants The revolution will require force. The capitalist state is one of force and repression, and it uses these to prevent its destruction. The moment anyone tries anything that would result in the capitalist state ceasing to exist they will be met with the amount of force necessary to repress it and maintain the capitalist rule, which will in turn require the revolutionaries to use force to both defend themselves and remove the ever obstinate capitalist stste off its thrown.

@TessRants No matter which way you look at it, force will be required to overthrow capitalism.

@Radical_EgoCom That's nice theory, but I doubt it's the only option.

@TessRants I assume by "theory," you're accusing my argument as being formed without a firm basis in evidence or knowledge (abstract definition), but it isn't. My argument is based on facts. It's based on the reality of how capitalism functions and the history of capitalist states using force against active efforts to overthrow it. There are many examples, but the Black Panter Party is one of the best examples that supports my theory (as in a systemic explanation based on logic and evidence).

@Radical_EgoCom @TessRants All of human history shows that force is what works. We didn’t vote away monarchy, nor did the Russian people in the 1900s. We didn’t vote away slavery, we beat the slave owners into submission. Powerful systems require powerful removals.

@Radical_EgoCom Easy, there. I was using theory colloquially. Mea culpa. Please pardon my lack of precision?I have also done some studying of prior revolutions/ uprisings. (Revolutions succeed. Uprisings, not so much.)I have yet to find one where using the tools of the oppressor did not turn once idealistic revolutionaries into just a new flavor of oppressor themselves.If you've done as much studying as I think, you'll have seen this too.

@TessRants You haven't said a single thing that refutes the necessity of violent revolution. All you've done is acknowledge the dangers of revolutionaries becoming the new oppressors, which is a real risk, but it doesn't prove that revolution is possible without violence. Also, the proletarian revolution is an uprising. It's the lowest class of society overthrowing the ruling class, an uprisings by definition.

@Radical_EgoCom And you haven't said why violent overthrow is necessary...By "necessary," let us understand it to mean, "the only way."But, since you asked, if we quietly build parallel structures, community-based and under the radar, then, yeah, by the time they think to come for us, we'll have already won.The Black Panther party was a militant & highly visible minority that most whites were already afraid of or had already made scapegoats of to begin with.Learn from their mistakes.
