i am not saying we should always try to violently start a war but when peacefull options start to diminish its time to take arms and fight for your freedom from opression. You can change some things peacefully but it often only works on minor things and not radical change of a system
And when has the violent path ever worked? In the US? Not really, as you can see, it's still a system of Rich exploiting the poor, even enslaved for a time, In France? Anywhere in Africa? You can believe what you want, go FAFO, as they say today. Violence is no path to peace and prosperity for all.
The US was found on violence. The US wouldn't exist if they didn't start a war with Britain. France too, the most famous of them all. Throughout history radical change in society has always been done with violently. Its not fun and people suffer but it has changed lives.
France was even worse after the Revolution and a few decades later had Napoleon again. The US Revolution did not free the people, it just swapüed one ruling class with another. Again, learn about history, not only the few phrases from the schoolbook...Violent Revolution leads nowhere!
But let's see again. Bolshevin revolution. Chinese revolution. Both poor and filled with famines and now both of them are global superpowers. Both of them did wrong things that could have been avoided but the fact stands that they're better off now.
Revolutions need Leaders leasing others to war and they usually just replace the leading class. That's not what the Revolution actually wanted to achieve. Only true change of the mindset of the majority of people can change things. No violence needed.
Let's put it in words you and others may understand. Replacing people in a hierarchical system does not change the System. What is needed is a complete change of the System. A violent Revolution will not get us there. It just gives power to somebody else. Is that what you want?
Dictatorship of the proletariat would be the ideal yes
And how did that work out last time(s)?
And how long will that take when the news and people are owned by that oppressive class. How many more lives do we need to loose so we can hopefully get what we want "peacefully" You would ask a dictator for change?
Swapping one oppressor with another, how's that going to make anything better? Well, you keep being visionless and singleminded, you see where it gets you, I am out, have a good life.
No matter. We all have our own views.
When people are starving they need something to bellieve in. This can lead to bad people gaining pover. And yes I do read history, you can't just say anyone who disagrees with you doesn't.
Exactly! Financial violence is still violence. At some point you must defend yourself and no world changes based off one man's labor
