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.
Also, those pipeline blockades failed. Like they got the MOU signed but I don't think it was really that substancial. The maoist groups fuckthepaintup's referring to are miniscule and not growing, and frankly often the ire of other left groups in the regions they are active in going off statements various indigenous left groups in canada have made towards the ones I know they're referring too, and they were not the spearheads of those blockades to begin with btw. And those railroad blockades resulted in large temporary layoffs for thousands of rail workers, and that lost them support. 65 percent of Canada supported the government forcibly removing them, and more than that had negative approvals of them by the end.
