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.

    So the only possibility of a bloodless revolution lies in a revolutionary movement so strong that there is a universal acknowledgement on the part of the old state and the bourgeoisie that they will not be able to effectively oppose the assumption of state power in any way.

    This sounds like my (poor) understanding of the end of apartheid.
