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.
True regarding WW2, of course there are battles we could pick and say look in this battle resources were this and strategy was that, and it demonstrates victory or whatever, but again it's kinda pointless to debate war like that at point. I think it's unlikely there will be large scale war within the country no matter what, like if there's a revolution in the US either via some collapse of the country or democratic party collapse etc. I think it will be extremely quick. I think it's more likely that happens and sections of the country that resist balkanize, though who knows it could be nationwide or worldwide at that point.
Ya, I think I agree. At a certain point, I think that people, especially in rich places, are... moving beyond war? Which feels absurd to say about america, but I think makes a kind of sense.
As ideas like Human Rights become increasingly entrenched in culture, and as people continue to become, generally, less violent and more... content? I think we’ll see a much lower tolerance for total war. If some states seceded, I don’t think we’d see Civil War II: Baby Come Backaloo. Even as unlikely as seccession is at this point, I think it’s even less likely that it would come as war, if it did.
