I believe that due to the inherent contradictions of capitalism a revolution is inevitable, and necessary, but it's still not something that is easily palatable. Revolution is certainly romanticized, yet I still question every day whether or not I would be willing to die for my beliefs. My question to my fellow comrades is do you think non-violent form of revolution is possible, or will the state and reactionaries always crack down? I know that in the past those with power and prestige have been reluctant to give it up.
Of course. Allende came very close to peaceful revolution, and if something similar were to happen in a nation less susceptible to pressure from foreign capital (say, the US itself), it might have a good chance of succeeding.
Famously successful leftist government, Allende's Chile
Why are you booing me? I'm right!
