    I think about this, too. The bloodlust that gets posted here sometimes is very offputting. Advocates for killing all chuds post-revolution don't make me feel comfortable with the idea of building communism shoulder to shoulder with them.

      Doing what is needed, even violence, to defend the revolution and the people we are trying to help is based.

      Having Joy at the downfall of oppression and the liberation of the masses is based.

      Bloodthirsty Wrath is a sin, albeit one even I enjoy from time to time. Checking those impulses prevents you from going full "Pol Pot did nothing wrong"

        Completely agree, capital won't give up power without resorting to force, and defending the revolution with arms will be necessary. It just doesn't need to come with fantasizing about violence against civilians (except slaveowners) or executing PoWs. You're certainly not going to pipeline any socdems like this.
