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.
That was a counter revolution not a revolution. Also I wouldn’t call 600 casualties “non violent”.
Note that I said "without any widespread violence." A brief armed clash is not really the same as a violent revolution.
And whatever you call it, it was a fundamental change in the government of a superpower. It's relevant.
